Document Summary
Chapter 2 the changing legal emphasis compliance and impact on canadian workplaces. The legal framework for employment law in canada. The primary objective of most employment legislation in canada is to prevent employees from exploiting paid workers, assuming that an implicit power imbalance exists in the employment relationship (in favour of the employer) Canadian employment legislation is largely modelled on the us national labour relations acts with three significant differences. 2: canadian population is more inclined to accept and expect government-mandated regulations about organizational activities, since canadians are more receptive to governmental regulatory intervention than the us public. In canada employers are permitted to terminate employment without a reason provided they ensure reasonable notice to be given to workers. In us either employer or employee can break the contract without liability, given that no autonomous employment contract exists and employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit: the us employment legislation model is largely centralized.
