Canadian Labour Code

The Canadian Labour Code is a set of national laws that regulate workplaces across Canada. It sets standards for fair employment practices, workers’ rights, health and safety, wages, working hours, and dispute resolution. The code applies to federally regulated industries like banks, airlines, and telecommunications. It aims to ensure safe, fair, and equitable working conditions for employees while providing employers with a framework to manage labour relations. The Labour Program, part of Employment and Social Development Canada, enforces these laws and helps resolve workplace issues, promoting balanced and respectful labour environments across the country.
