Common Staff Issue
We received some concerns regarding the provision, as to whether this should be different for a worker and an administrative employee. The provision is intended to offer the employee suitable clothing for their work; footwear and clothing should conform to the characteristics and nature of each function or task to be performed.
It is possible that within the same company and work there are completely different functions, and therefore each must have its own elements to an adequate performance.
The envelope should be regarded as a tool of the worker and the company to develop its various activities, so that if necessary, provisions should be designed according to different needs of each department or section of the company, for each task or activity to develop.
For example, in an engineering company, the provision of an operator must include a helmet, boots and suits, while a person who is responsible for serving the public should wear a formal dress, possibly executive, as appropriate to their functions, many other cases that may require differentiation in the type of envelope.
The issue of the provision is little known, so that sometimes questions arise about the treatment should be given, and precisely this is one of the many concerns that arise and that we will develop over time.
Enter The Retirement Age
Canada completely abolished mandatory retirement age, prohibiting employers who depended on setting a federal regulation, a law coming into force this week.
This bill, budget execution, repeals the provisions of Canadian law that left such a possibility, said Friday the Canadian Commission on Civil Rights, waving a “major victory in the field of human rights.”
By taking this initiative, the Conservative government had stressed that he wanted “to offer older workers the opportunity to stay in the labor market.”
Consistent with this decided “to prohibit federally-regulated employers to establish a mandatory retirement age, unless the work (their employees) actually requires.”
In Canada there was no general legal age to impose retirement. In practice, the retirement pension is paid from 65, but in some provinces, like Quebec, this feature can begin with 60.
According to the Civil Rights Commission, only the federal government and the New Brunswick remained in labor force mandatory retirement, all other provinces had already abolished.
