The Employment Standards Act sets the rules for employment practices in your office and in the field. Your current work rules may fall short of your statutory obligations even though they are well accepted by your staff or seem like standard practice. if you learn too late that you are not in compliance you may be faced with certain consequences including owing months of back pay in wages.

This 1.5-hour online seminar will give you a review of Employment Standards Act requirements that are particularly relevant to construction industry employers, including:

– Who is a “manager” and exempt from certain requirements
– Independent contractors vs. employees
– Hours of work and overtime
– Averaging agreements for hours of work
– Vacation and statutory holidays
– Paid sick days
– Job protected leaves of absence
– Termination of employment
– Impact of the common law

This session was designed for anyone in the construction industry who wants a better understanding of the Employment Standards Act.
