Position Summary:
The Discipline Committee is mandated to hear allegations of professional misconduct, incompetence or incapacity referred to it from the Complaints Committee, to make determinations of guilt or incapacity and to apply the appropriate and just remedy to the member who is the subject of the allegation(s).
Qualification & Skills:
The Discipline Committee is comprised of CHRL members, public representatives and legal counsel. Experience working on regulatory adjudicative committees or a background in HR law is preferred, but not required.
Time Commitment:
As a member of the Discipline Committee, you would be called upon to attend discipline hearings on an as-needed basis. Although discipline hearings are rare at the HRPA, the process for a single case can involve multiple hearings over the course of months. As such, it is difficult to predict the time commitment that this role will require; however, a rough estimate would be 12 hours per year of in-person hearings at the HRPA office in Toronto, during business hours. Furthermore, given the nature of discipline cases, once you’re are assigned to a discipline panel your attendance at hearings is mandatory.
In addition to hearings, you will be required to attend an annual 3 hour business meeting. Currently all hearings, training and meetings are conducted remotely. Travel to HRPA’s Toronto office may be required in the future.
