The ''Employment Standards Act'' covers some of the same situations as the ''Human Rights Code''.

For example, under the BC ''Employment Standards Act'', an employer cannot fire you because you are pregnant. But the Branch cannot give you the same remedy you could get under the Code.

It explains how to file a complaint with the Branch.
