Employment Law: Solutions for the Canadian Workplace
Border Ladner Gervais, LLP
Project Editor: Brian D. Mulroney

Employment law has undergone tremendous growth over the last two decades, reflecting our ever-evolving and complex organizations. As the Canadian workforce continues its diversification, employers must factor human rights concerns into every employment decision.

As the use of e-mail and the Internet grows, employers have to balance their right to know against their employee’s right to privacy. Such issues are encountered daily and have profound effects on the workplace. Employment Law: Solutions for the Canadian Workplace, is an invaluable resource, providing a clear understanding of legal principles as well as quick answers to specific employment law questions.

It reviews subjects such as sexual harassment, duty to accommodate, human rights, wrongful dismissal, duty of good faith, and termination, considering both the legal principles and the practical realities. It examines statutory regulations for provincial employment standards, the Canada Labour Code, the Quebec Civil Code, and the increasingly dynamic field of human rights, in a comprehensive and comparative discussion.

No other publication offers in-depth exploration and analysis of so many Canadian employment law topics. Employment Law also includes guidelines for both federal and all provincial jurisdictions, including Quebec, and addresses the following issues: • Hiring process
• Managing the employment relationship
• Human rights in the employment context
• Policy manuals, procedures, and workplace rules
• Privacy in the workplace: monitoring, surveillance, and testing
• Wrongful dismissal
• Personal information protection laws

The manual also features comparison tables, Do’s and Don’ts, checklists, and discussions of precedent-setting cases.
