Employment Standards 101

This workshop covers the minimum standards of employment in Alberta – in other words, the rules that employers must adhere to under Alberta legislation. Employers can choose to offer workers more than these standards if they would like, but never less. Employment Standards 101 looks at the ins-and-outs of employment rules in the province and provides workers with information to advocate for themselves, file complaints against their employers if necessary, and where to seek help.

Alberta Human Rights – what workers need to know

In Alberta—or anywhere—people should not be treated unfairly at work because of who they are. From racism to homophobia, sexual harassment to ablism, discrimination in the workplace is not acceptable and fortunately, there are rules in place to protect workers.

This workshop helps workers to understand discrimination and the protected grounds in Alberta, learn about accommodations and how to request them, and discover what you can do if you have faced discrimination at work.
