Employment standards

Employment standards is a law that governs how employees should be treated by employers and the relationship between them. Number of hours worked in a day or week, vacation, minimum pay, paid holidays, termination of employment contract and many more – these are the things that are regulated by provincial employment standards

It is always a good idea to check with the legislation before you hire your caregiver:

If you still don’t have an answer to your question, you may want to call the local office and ask for help directly.
