Guide to employing in Canada

The Canadian labour market operates within a complex framework in the Canadian constitution. This framework comprises labour laws applicable to all natives, citizens and foreign workers. Key aspects covered by these laws include compensation for work performed, workplace safety regulations, and the prohibition of employers holding or seizing passports or work permits from employees.

This intricate legal environment can be challenging to navigate when hiring employees in Canada. Each province or territory in Canada is responsible for its labour regulations, while the federal government handles pension benefits and unemployment benefits. Industries such as airlines, telecommunications and international shipping also fall under the federal government's jurisdiction.

Ensuring labour practices are correctly implemented requires a thorough understanding of these labour regulations, and implementing it correctly can be a costly and time-intensive task. Non-compliance with the labour code can be costly and lead to fines for the offending company.
