Scope Employment law in Canada is governed by both common law principles (what constitutes just cause for dismissal of a senior employee?) and legislation (both provincial and federal, depending on whether the employment is governed by federal or provincial laws). Typical of a provincial statute is the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000, S.O. 2000, c. 41. Employment law tends to cover only non-unionized employees, whereas labour law (discussed below in this chapter) covers unionized employees.
