Canada offers significant opportunities for U.S. and global businesses looking to expand or enter the market, but there are key human resources differences and risks compared to the U.S. and other global regions. This conversation will highlight important issues under Canadian labor laws, including union elections and employer free speech, different legal landscapes from province to province, the lack of at-will employment and the costs (and ways to mitigate the risk) of severance pay. It will also address compliance and legislative obligations and alternative arrangements for small workforces, such as using independent contractors or a PEO/EOR. Employers will gain insights to navigate these challenges and set their business up for success in Canada.
