Ontario Labour Law

Ontario Labour Law establishes the rights and responsibilities of employees and employers to ensure fair, safe, and balanced working conditions. It covers areas such as minimum wage, hours of work, overtime, rest periods, workplace safety, leaves (e.g., parental, sick leave), and protection against discrimination and wrongful dismissal. The law is enforced by government agencies like the Ontario Ministry of Labour, providing workers with mechanisms to file complaints or disputes. Overall, it aims to promote respectful, equitable workplaces while balancing economic and social interests.
