  3. Your Employment Rights

Your Employment Rights

Whether you're working full-time, part-time, or completing a co-op or student placement as part of your degree, you have rights in the workplace. Being informed about your rights can help you to advocate for yourself, ensure you are being treated fairly, and seek the resources that you may need. Below are some resources to help you be informed. If you have questions or need someone to talk to about a legal concern, you can also speak to a lawyer at a local legal clinic.

Steps to Justice

Steps to Justice is a resource by Community Legal Education Ontario that provides legal information and resources. Use the platform below to find information about your employment rights. You can find legal information on other topics on the Steps to Justice website.
