As a lawyer or paralegal practising in employment law, you know that employment contract clauses can be unenforceable for failing to comply with the Employment Standards Act. Although most employment law practitioners know about ESA requirements, even the most seasoned lawyer or paralegal can struggle with the ESA’s practical application. Join us for this primer where we review essential ESA provisions and work through some of the challenging scenarios you encounter in your practice.
- How do courts interpret the ESA's greater right or benefit exception?
- What does the Act require for vacation, stat holidays, and other leave provisions?
- What are the hours of work, overtime, and eating period requirements in the Act?
