Standard working hours are Monday to Friday. There are specific requirements depending on the federal state and industry. Pay for overtime is generally mandatory. Certain positions and professions are exempt from the overtime regulation, e.g. Employees with management tasks. The exemptions are complex and depend on the province in which the employee works. Hours worked outside of normal working hours are considered overtime. Employees can work a maximum of 8 hours of overtime per week. For hours beyond this, employees receive 150% of their salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Termination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Termination Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dismissals must take into account complex rules and the regulations of the country in which an employee is employed. Off-boarding is always carried out by the employer with the main participants. It may include ad hoc fees as well as required or recommended steps for specific termination cases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terminations in Canada can be very complex. Outside the probationary period, the employer in Canada cannot terminate at his own discretion and the termination must be for good cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compliant terminations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Voluntary by the employee <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By mutual agreement <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unilaterally by the employer due to:<br>1. Probationary period<br>2. A material breach of the terms of this Agreement<br>3. Wrongdoing<br>4. Commitment of a competitive act by the employee<br>5. Refusal of the employee to perform the duties assigned to him by the contract <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the contract expires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notice Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The legal minimum notice periods for termination by the employee\/employer vary depending on the province (Employment Standards Act). Our contracts have been drafted with this in mind and contain language designed to protect the customer if they wish to terminate an employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Severance for Employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada, severance pay is paid when an employee is terminated without cause, and severance pay is paid when an amicable separation is agreed or when an employee has been employed for at least 12 consecutive months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the federal level, eligible employees receive the greater of 2 days&#8217; wages per year of service or 5 days&#8217; wages. Severance payments vary depending on the federal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to protect you from unforeseen financial risks arising from the termination of the employment relationship, IceHrm applies a severance pay provision in all employment contracts in this country. IceHrm has extensive expertise in managing litigation risk around the world and our severance provision calculation is based on prevailing common law or statutory requirements and best local practices. If your employee resigns or is not entitled to severance pay, you will receive a refund of any unused amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Statutory Time Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paid Time Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacation pay varies by province in Canada. In general, employers in Canada are required to provide full-time employees with at least 15 vacation days per year.  The vacation entitlement of part-time employees is credited proportionately to the 15 vacation days per year.  These are the minimum legal requirements, but the common practice of employers in Canada is to provide 21 days of vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public Holidays<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada, public holidays depend on the province in which the employee is located. There are both national and province-wide holidays. Nationwide public holidays include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>New Year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good Friday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canada Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labor Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Christmas Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Onboarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onboarding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees cannot sign the contract on the day they start work. Onboarding takes 1 working day after signing the SOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Additional Info<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Employment Contract Details<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contracts must be written in English or French and can be bilingual. They must be in writing and signed by both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A contract must contain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Name of the employee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employee&#8217;s address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Role in the job<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Job description (with measurable tasks)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Date of start of work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remuneration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Probation Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Probationary periods are not mandatory.
