EMPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS

An employers' decision to hire a worker can be an overwhelming task, from the initial interview to the offer of employment. While there are no guarantees that a newly hired employee will result in a long term and fulfilling relationship there are measures and considerations that can aid an employer.

Here are some sites that will assist you with your decisions:

• Canadian Labour Standards
• BC Labour Standards
• Criminal Record Search
• Canadian Immigration
• Employment Benefits & Insurance

Understanding Harassment

Harassment means, in basic terms, any improper behaviour directed at another that is offensive to the apprentice or journeyperson and that the perpetrator knows or ought reasonably to know would be unwelcome.

It includes:

• Objectional conduct
• Comments of display made either on a one time basis or a continuous basis that demeans, belittles or causes personal humiliation or embarassment to the recipient.

Some websites to view are:

• Trades Women
• Sexual Harassment Guide
