Know Your Rights in Quebec: Understand Labour Standards & Worker Protections

Not sure whether your employer is respecting Quebec labour standards? Many workers are unaware of their rights when it comes to pay, overtime, vacation, workplace safety, harassment, or dismissal. This workshop provides practical information to help you understand your rights, recognize workplace issues, and know what steps to take when problems arise.

Understand the Rules That Protect Workers in Quebec

This workshop is built for anyone earning a living in Quebec, including full-time employees, part-time workers, seasonal staff, and, where applicable, contract workers. Drawing extensively on CNESST resources and the Act Respecting Labour Standards, participants will gain a clear understanding of the minimum standards employers are required to follow.

What We’ll Cover

• General worker rights and what the law guarantees regardless of your job title or schedule
• Minimum working conditions, including pay, overtime, annual vacation, sick leave, and related entitlements
• Workplace health and safety, including harassment, occupational disease, workplace injury, and employer obligations
• End-of-employment protections, including wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, and available recourse
• Filing a complaint with the CNESST or the relevant tribunal and what to expect throughout the process

Recognize When Your Rights Are Not Being Respected

Workplace issues can be difficult to navigate, especially when you’re unsure of your rights. Understanding Quebec labour standards can help you identify situations where minimum employment standards may not be met and empower you to make informed decisions about your next steps.

Learn How to Take Action

This workshop goes beyond explaining workplace rights. You’ll also learn about the complaint process, the role of the CNESST, and the recourse available when employment standards are violated.

By the end of the workshop, participants will know their baseline entitlements at work, recognize when those entitlements aren’t being met, and understand exactly how to act on it. Whether you’re currently employed, starting a new job, or simply want to better understand your workplace rights, you’ll leave with knowledge you can use immediately.
