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.

Do you need help drafting an employment contract? Would you like a lawyer to review your employment contract? Do you need advice on severance pay or have questions about harassment in the workplace? Are you unsure about non-competition clauses and their interpretation?

 

At Allen Madelin, we provide legal assistance to both employers and employees in labour law matters. Our lawyers are here for you.
