In Quebec, work is one of the foundations of society. The relationship between an employer and an employee is contractual in nature. This means that their relationship is governed not only by law, but also by an employment contract or, sometimes, a collective agreement. Given the importance of the employment relationship, labour lawyers are often called upon.
Labour law refers to all the rules governing the relationship between employer and employee. We also include workplace accident cases in the broad family of labour law.
Many Canadian and Quebec laws govern negotiation and dispute resolution in labour law. In addition to these laws, there are the rules set out in employment contracts. A Quebec labour lawyer steps in at the hiring stage, during the negotiation of working conditions, during the performance of work and at the end of employment.
Labour relations are a very sensitive area since, most of the time, choosing to assert your rights can have significant repercussions within your professional network.
