Other provinces will be able to enforce payment of wages for local workers of Quebec-based employers
Amendments to Quebec's labour standards legislation will provide greater protection to employees in other provinces when employers are headquartered in Quebec.
Bill 111, which passed into law on Sept. 29, allows provinces to enter into reciprocal agreements with Quebec.
These agreements will allow the other provinces to enforce the payment of wages and other monies, as laid out in their employment standards, owed to local employees of Quebec-based organizations.
"Under this new legislation, Manitoba and other provinces are now able to develop reciprocal enforcement agreements with Quebec for the first time," said Manitoba Minister of Labour and Immigration Jennifer Howard.
