Canadian employment laws are designed to protect employers and employees alike and provide guidelines to make sure the relationship between the two can proceed fairly and smoothly.
Employment standards legislation in Canadian jurisdictions covers from workplace safety, wages and worker’s rights to vacations, discrimination, and termination. Such legislation (e.g., Ontario's Employment Standards Act or Alberta's Employment Standards Code) is widely considered the most important piece of employment law in the province where it is applicable.
There are regular updates in legislation as issues and modernization in business occurs, which can make it a minefield to navigate at times. That’s why we employ the industry’s top experts to provide the latest advice and help our customers deal professionally and in a timely way.
