Understand employment regulations

Are you a new business owner? If so, your first step is to figure out whether your business is federally or provincially regulated. If, like almost 90% of businesses, your company is regulated provincially, check out the guidelines and fact sheets available through your provincial or territorial ministry of labour. Better yet, call our Business Counsellors toll free at 1-888-234-2232 for timely answers to your questions.

Do these questions sound familiar? We can help!

• What is the minimum wage in my province?
• Which deductions do I make from employee earnings?
• Is Remembrance Day a paid public holiday?
• How do I pay employees for public holidays?
• What are the mandatory food and rest breaks for employees?
• How do I calculate vacation pay?
• What steps must I take to terminate an employee?

Confused about how these regulations apply to your business?  Help is just a call away!  Dial 1-888-234-2232 and our Business Counsellors will be happy to assist with your queries about staffing regulations.
