Client Reviews

Finding and retaining a job in these uncertain times of world-wide financial instability seem daunting in themselves. Most of us, whether we’re fresh entrants into the job-market or have been working for several years, have recently been laid-off or are contemplating a change of job, remain largely unaware of our rights as an employee until there is an issue or crisis. Federal and state governments in all countries have enacted important laws that deal with the rights of workers which include equal treatment, non-discrimination, human rights, unsafe work conditions etc.

Areas Covered

Employment or Labor laws are the interface between workers, employers, unions and governments. In Canada “employment law” generally deals with non-unionized employees. These laws evolved with the advent of the Industrial Revolution and have been constantly revised, added to and changed according to changes in social awareness and technological developments. For instance, aspects like child-labor, equal opportunities for men and women, worker safety etc have made a huge difference to social structures across the world.
