For federally regulated employers in Canada, there are several
key recent and incoming amendments to the Canada Labour Code to
note. If you are uncertain regarding whether your business is
"federally regulated", we recommend speaking to one of
the members of our Employment & Labour Law team. Some examples
of common types of federally regulated workplaces include the
interprovincial/international transportation, maritime, and
telecommunications sectors.
Among the amendments to the Code, there are some that have
already come into force in July 2023, and some that are coming into
force in 2024.
These are just some of the highlights of the new amendments to
the Canada Labour Code that affect employers and employees in
federally regulated sectors. We hope that this newsletter has given
you some useful information and guidance on how to comply with
these changes and what they mean for your business.
