This is the first session of our 2-part series on Employment Standards. Understanding the Employment Standards Act is essential for employers in British Columbia. Regardless of an individual’s role within the organization, a fundamental understanding of the rights and obligations under the Act can minimize exposure and build trust between management and staff.

Participants will be provided an overview of the key provisions of the Employment Standards Act with a focus on recent amendments to legislation. Special emphasis will be placed on real-world scenarios, including the mistakes commonly made by employers and the frequently asked questions Harris’ Employment lawyers field.
