Are you a woman who works in STEM, or an entrepreneur who employs people in a STEM field? Have you wondered what your rights are when it comes to employment and the law, and your obligations - like fair wages, ensuring you get a fair contract, or meeting your obligations as an employer?

Lotus STEMM is excited to partner with employment and human rights lawyers from McMahon Molyneaux Henriquez to bring you a unique workshop! You'll learn how to understand your rights - and your obligations under the law.

Planning for a successful career or business in competitive STEM fields requires more than picking the right area of research or the right product. Roberto and Sarah will give you the tools to assess whether you’re being paid properly, or, if you're an employer, what your obligations are and how to meet them. They’ll give you the knowledge you need to strike a fair contract and to create a workplace that is physically safe and free from discrimination and harassment.

Sarah Molyneaux is the founder and managing lawyer of Molyneaux Law. Since being called to the bar in 2014, Sarah has represented clients at labour arbitrations, the Ontario Labour Relations Board, the Canada Industrial Relations Board, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, the Federal Court, and the Federal Court of Appeal.
