SUMMARY:NEW! Know Your Rights: Working Conditions and Protections - Quebec Labour Standards
DESCRIPTION:Know Your Rights in Quebec: Understand Labour Standards & Worker Protections\nNot 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.

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. \nLearn How to Take Action\nThis workshop goes beyond explaining workplace rights.
