Key Sources in Employment and Labour Law

Several different legal regimes regulate waged employment in Canada, most notably the common law of employment, statutory labour law, and minimum standards legislation. In Canada, these three regimes are typically apportioned between two separate, if related fields. One field is labour law, which regulates employment through labour relations statues and arbitral case law. The second field is employment law, which regulates individual non-unionized work through the common law and minimum employment standards statutes.
