Document Summary

Law week 8 employment contract: the common-law views employment contracts differently than regular contracts. Control: 2. who owns the tools, 3. Chance of profit: risk of loss, this test is not used anymore it is not reliable, a contract for services = independent contractor. A contract of service you are an employee. A contract of 1 year or more must be in writing: the employment standards act: this gives us a minimum wage. And they will be able to make a legal decision only in those categories: if you work in a bank, airport or something covered by federal. There is a federal employment act: pay equity act men and women should earn the same thing. Common law: there is a presumption that any employee will be paid if the employee has any expenses while on the job they will be reimbursed. The employee must also provide tools to do the job.
