- In early phases, the scope of labour law was often limited to the most developed and important industries and to wage earners.

- These limitations are gradually eliminated and the scope of the law extended to include handicrafts, rural industries and agriculture, small undertakings,office workers.

Thus, a body of law originally intended for the protection of manual workers in industrial enterprises is gradually transformed into a broader body of legal principles and standards.

It has TWO main functions:

  • the regulation of the relations between organized interest groups (industrial relations)

Part 1. Industrial Relations: Deals with the general industrial relations aspects covering the union-management relationships, union certification, a conflict resolution in those industries that fall under federal jurisdiction.

Part 2. Occupational Health and Safety: Lays out the legislation covering workplace health and safety issues in areas under federal jurisdiction.

Part 3. Standard Hours, Wages, Vacations and Holidays: This section interprets the federal employment standards which covers the conditions of employment such as working hours, wages, general holidays, vacation leave, layoffs, severance pay and unfair dismissals, etc.

The Canada Labour Code contains the following rights :

  • Hours of work : Standard hours - 8 hours/day or 40 hours/ week ; hours worked in excess of 40 hours/ week shall be paid at a rate of not less than one and one - half times the regular rate of pay. (Never more than 48/ week )
