CPA Web Seminar Series

PRESENTED DIRECT-TO-YOUR-DESKTOP by the Canadian Payroll Association

Archived Presentation

Topic Description

Are you aware of your obligations under the Canada Labour Code, Part III? Do you know how to apply all of your legislative responsibilities under the Code?

Designed specifically for organizations that fall under the Canada Labour Code (CLC), this webinar provides an introduction and overview to the legislation and regulations governing organizations under the CLC, Part III, such as banks, railways and organizations operating in telecommunications.

Given the many aspects of the CLC, getting a handle on the legislation and regulations can be a challenge. The session will cover the following elements of the legislation, including time for questions and answers:

• Introduction: Canada Labour Code vs. employment/labour standards
• Scope and coverage of legislation
• Hours of work
• Statutory holidays
• Paid and unpaid leaves
• Vacation
• Termination

This seminar is not suitable for organizations governed by provincial labour/employment standards legislation. 

This informative two-hour session will include a 50-60 minute presentation, responses to pre-submitted questions and an open forum to ask your live questions to our facilitators.

Participants are encouraged to submit their questions in advance and can do so by emailing syeda@payroll.ca before June 16, 2010.

This session will be presented by Annie Chong of Carswell, with participation from other members of the Carswell Payroll Consulting Group.
