Document Summary

Both federal and provincial have jurisdiction: federal government = employees working in federally regulated industries (10%, provincial government = employees working in all other industries. Governments can create general legislation, and those for specific jobs such as teachers, police officers, medical personnel, etc. The employment relationship: a contractual relationship whereby an employer provides remuneration to an employee in exchange for work or services. The most important identification for employee success is employee moral, as if your e(cid:373)ployee"s like you, they (cid:449)o(cid:374)"t sue you. We will always assume that they are fair, since they are voluntary entered into. Generally, employees do not owe a fiduciary duty (unless they are agents) In class test example: the control test, who exercises the control over the work that gets done, organization test, how integral is that person to the organization. The courts will look at whether there was a contract as a factor but not the most important one.
