Product description

This national publication reviews and analyzes the general trends in Canadian employment along with the underlying forces that are determining the future development of the law.

Employment Law in Canada, 4th Edition specifically examines a multitude of issues surrounding the "employer and employee", and the "master and servant" relationship and in so doing, analyzes the application of:

Common Law of the employment contract
Provincial and Federal Employment/Labour Standards legislation which establishes a floor of irreducible rights with respect to such things as: minimum wages, hours of work, overtime, wage statements, holidays and vacations, maternity and parental leave, sick leave, equal pay for men and women etc.
Human Rights Codes that prohibit discrimination on specified grounds in the employment context
Special Legislation that commonly determines the rights and obligations of employees and employers relating to pension benefits, privacy, pay equity, health and safety, non-payment of wages, worker's compensation and unemployment insurance
International Labour Laws that may bind the federal, and even some provincial governments, such as the Labour Side Agreement in the North American Free Trade Agreement
The relationship between different forums for enforcing employment rights, including res judicata problems
Other legislation such as the statutes of frauds, corporations legislation and debt collection legislation that can bear on the employment relationship

Employment Law in Canada, 4th Edition offers expert guidance on interpreting and researching applicable case law (enhanced by the addition of LexisNexis® Quicklaw® citations), developing your arguments and managing risks in the workplace arena. It offers:
