1. Go to your provincial or territorial employment (labour) standards website and determine the following: (Alberta)

minimum legal age to work in this jurisdiction

minimum hourly wages

maximum number of hours that can be worked in a week before overtime must be paid

2. How does this information apply to you and your friends and family? Did you notice any-thing else that caught your interest that you were previously unaware of?

3. report outlining legally acceptable questions that may be asked at a selection interview with a young female engineer applying for the job of engineering project manager at an oil field in rural northern Alberta with an otherwise all-male group.

4. Use Statistics Canada to find updated informationregarding labour market outcomes for one of the four protected groups in Canada. Based on your research, what inequities exist for the group you selected? What are some direct and indirection organizational decisions or actions that can possibly explain these inequities? What legislation(s) provides protection for people in your selected designated group?

5. The organization you are working for is relatively new and growing, and has no HR department. They have asked you to make a briefing about what can and cannot be asked during an employment interview. Given that it is a small organization, management usually conducts interviews. You notice a number of managers huffing about how the law doesn't apply to them and about how their actions can't result in a lawsuit. In addition to preparing a briefing about the types of questions that can and cannot be asked in an interview, please respond to the perception that the law does not apply to the managers in this situation.
