Worker rights that you have as an employee:

  • Your employer must pay you to work a minimum of 3 hours every shift, even if you do not work the full 3 hours.
  • You can take at least 1 day of rest each work week.
  • You have the right to (and should) refuse any work that is unsafe.

Find answers to common questions in the ‘Know Your Rights’ page of our local news: 

Workplace Discrimination:

Canadian law protects you from physical or mental injury and discrimination at work. The laws also protect you from being fired or punished for reporting an employer.

Unions:

If you work for an employer where there is a union, there may be other benefits you are entitled to through your union agreement. Ask a colleague, your employer or the human resources department if you are a unionized employee and for a copy of your agreement.
