Last week, the Government of Alberta tendered and passed first reading of Bill 17: Fair and Family-friendly Workplaces Act . Bill 17 proposes a number of amendments to Alberta’s Employment Standards Code and Labour Relations Code. If passed, these amendments will have a significant impact on employers’ policies, practices and business as a whole.

For more information on the proposed changes, please visit the blog post "Bill 17 – Proposed Changes to Alberta’s Employment Standards Code" prepared by our colleagues in Calgary.
