Employment Law
In Canada legislation governs the minimum standards and conditions of employment. Matters such as minimum wage, hours of work, protected leaves, human rights, harassment, privacy, pay equity etc. are the subject matter of legislative provisions. These legislative provisions are often the subject of judicial consideration which results in a body of statute and common law that governs employment relationships in Canada.
