Employment Law Canada in brief:

Are you aware of the differences in provincial and federal law operating in Canada ?

Do you know whether you can ask a prospective candidate in Canada where they reside ?

Did you know that drug and alcohol addiction is classified as a disability in Canada ?

Canadian employment law is vastly different to UK law and employers operating in this country must understand the legal framework to ensure they maintain good employee relations and avoid falling foul of local law. If your organisation is currently opening offices in Canada or has acquired business operations in this jurisdiction make sure you are up to date on local law and practice.

This seminar, led by Canadian lawyers from Baker & McKenzie, provides an introduction to the employment scene in Canada. You will hear about latest legal developments and receive up to date information and guidance about the situation in Canada.
