The last few years have seen a significant amount of change in many provinces relative to legislation and regulation impacting payroll. This was particularly the case with Employment and Labour Standards in many provinces across the country particularly in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Such changes are always an indicator of changes to come in other provinces. In addition many other legislative changes at a provincial level have to be monitored to establish their impacts on administering an organizations payroll. Many provinces had changes as a result of the COVID-19 situation in order to respond to the impacts to business. This session will look in detail at the dynamic legislative changes on a provincial level across the country currently, in the future and their impacts to payroll. Inquiries from attendees will also be addressed on a provincial level.
