"Can my boss do that?" New Employment Law Resources

May 27, 2015 By CPLEAadmin

CPLEA has a collection of new resources on employment law for youth in Alberta.
Funded by the Human Rights and Multiculturalism Fund, this project was created as a way to connect new Canadians with information about their rights at work.
This project was guided in part by our previous research on Law for Alberta’s Multicultural Communities.
We spoke with newcomer youth and agencies that work with them to find out what information about employment law the youth and their families need. In many newcomer families, children act as intermediaries to pass on information, including legal information. When youth learn about their rights and responsibilities, they are not only empowered themselves, they are also able to pass the information on tCroco other people in their families and communities.
When talking with the youth we heard many different scenarios and most ended with the question “Can my boss do that?” The resources we created provide answers to that question.
A variety of formats, including infographics, videos, articles, and quizzes presents the information in interesting ways and allows us to reach people of different learning styles.
The collection of resources can be found on the CPLEA website: Your Rights at Work
