Quebec’s labour law, primarily governed by the Act Respecting Labour Standards, sets out important rights for employees, such as minimum wage, working hours, and protection from unfair dismissal. It also covers specific issues like workplace harassment and non-competition clauses. Understanding these rules ensures your rights are protected.
