You recently began working in Bothwell, Ontario, for a small manufacturing company. You quickly realized that there are several legal difficulties and liabilities in the job. First, the corporation classified some of its personnel as independent contractors rather than employees, with the goal of lowering the costs connected with statutory benefits. This classification brings up certain legal difficulties. Explain your legal concerns in connection to statutory entitlements such as the overtime pay, minimum wage, and other employment standards safeguards specified by the legislation. How do the legal entitlements of independent contractors and employees differ under the Ontario Employment Standards Act of 2000? You also uncovered several troubling discriminatory procedures related to human rights violations. Several employees believe they have faced discrimination based on their gender and race. After conducting a comprehensive investigation, you discover that employees faced discrimination. What provisions does the Ontario Human Rights Code offer for these employees? Can someone be fired after filing a complaint? What types of damages are likely for employees?
