Employer Compliance

Fair and equitable labour practices can only flourish in the workplace when employers take responsibility for promoting and maintaining employee rights. The Labour Program aims to foster voluntary compliance with Part III of the Canada Labour Code through enhanced awareness and education. When these approaches prove ineffective, however, minimum labour standards must still be maintained and employers brought into compliance through other means.

• Read about actions the Labour Program can take to enforce compliance with federal labour standards.
• By keeping records required under Canada Labour Standards Regulations, employers can demonstrate compliance if called upon to do so by a Labour Program inspector.
• Understand how the process works at the Labour Program by reading the Operational Program Directives that Labour Program inspectors need to follow.
• Interpretation, Policy and Guideline documents provide clarification or interpretation of specific aspects of the Canada Labour Code and the Program’s directives.
