Employment Law by Province
One guide per Canadian province and territory on the employment rules a martial arts school owner meets when hiring instructors and staff: Ontario’s statutory non-compete ban, Quebec’s Civil Code rules, the common-law reasonableness test everywhere else, non-solicitation clauses after Shafron, minimum wage and overtime thresholds, final pay, police information and vulnerable sector checks, the duty to report a child in need of protection, human-rights limits on dress codes and conduct clauses, and private-sector privacy law for student records. Each guide carries its research date and sources and is not legal advice.
