Difference between revisions of "Employment Law Issues (9:V)"

For provincially regulated employees, the ''ESA'' sets the minimum standards for how an employer can act during the course of employment. The ''ESA'' addresses some of the most basic employee entitlements, such as wages, vacation pay, holiday pay, overtime, pregnancy and other  leaves, and termination standards.  For federally regulated employees, the Canada Labour Code sets these minimum standards. This section primarily discusses the ESA, but the Canada Labour Code has many similar provisions.  Be aware that certain professions and employees are exempt from the ESA, or parts of  the  ESA.  Review the Employment Standards Regulations to determine if the employee is covered by the ESA.  See IV.C.5: Exceptions to the General Rule (Specialty Professions) to determine whether the ESA applies to the employee in question. See IV.C.2: Hours of Work and Overtime Pay to determine if the employee is exempt from overtime.
