A report about employment standard

The session that was held in Linc 4 classroom yesterday opened a new door on employment standard for us, a crowd of newcomers. This included mainly two parts, one of which is about a safe and comfortable workplace. There are several methods for the employee to ask a help while they are injured on job. After calling 911 and reporting to the manager, the employee can report the union and etc., and ask a leave with pay. The second part involves work time and payroll, which grabbed the audience tightly. Even if the salary gaps exist among different industries, that the minimum salary is 11 dollars per hour on Ontario, and the student is paid 10.5 dollars at least is ruled by law. In the event that the employee works beyond 44 hours a week, that means the overtime salary should be paid. Normally it is one and a half time more than regular salary per hour. Moreover, there are some deductions to the salary, including the income tax, the EI and so on. In a word, this session provided us a amount of useful information on workplace.
