Sources & Methodology
Last updated: March 2026
Our Sources
All legal information on MyWorkRights.ca is drawn from primary Canadian legislative and regulatory sources. These include the Canada Labour Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. L-2), the Canadian Human Rights Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. H-6), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA, S.C. 2000, c. 5), the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (SOR/86-304), and the Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations (SOR/2020-130). For provincial content, we reference each province and territory's employment standards legislation directly from their official government websites.
Case Law and Tribunal Decisions
Case examples referenced on this Platform are drawn from published decisions of the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB), the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT), the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC), and provincial courts and tribunals. All case law is sourced through CanLII (Canadian Legal Information Institute) at canlii.ca, Canada's free and authoritative database of court and tribunal decisions. Case references on this site are anonymized to protect the privacy of individuals involved, in accordance with our content guidelines.
Provincial Information
Provincial and territorial employment law content is sourced from each jurisdiction's official employment standards website. This includes the Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA, 2000), British Columbia Employment Standards Act (RSBC 1996, c. 113), Alberta Employment Standards Code (RSA 2000, c. E-9), Quebec Act Respecting Labour Standards (CQLR, c. N-1.1), and equivalent legislation in all other provinces and territories. We clearly distinguish between federal and provincial jurisdiction on every page where this distinction matters.
How We Verify Information
Legal claims on MyWorkRights.ca are checked against the official text of the relevant statute or regulation, available through the Justice Laws Website (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca) or the applicable provincial legislation portal. We verify section numbers, thresholds, deadlines, and procedural requirements against the current consolidated version of each statute. Where tribunal decisions are cited, we confirm the citation through CanLII (Canadian Legal Information Institute). We do not rely on secondary sources, legal blogs, or news articles as primary references.
Content Review Process
Scheduled AI agents re-check pages on MyWorkRights.ca against the official text of the relevant statute or regulation, starting with the pages checked longest ago. A legal fact is added or changed only when three independent checks each match it to an official government source. If the checks do not agree, the fact is left as it is and checked again on a later run. Not every change is reviewed by a person before it is published.
Editorial Responsibility
MyWorkRights.ca is operated by 17695977 Canada Corp., a CBCA federal corporation. Monjur Hassan founded the platform and sets its editorial rules; content is drafted and checked with AI tools. Monjur Hassan is not a lawyer or paralegal. This platform is an information aggregation service, not a legal advice practice. For questions about our editorial process or to report an error, contact us at contact@myworkrights.ca.
Limitations
This platform provides Canadian employment law information, not legal advice. While we take care to ensure accuracy, Canadian law is complex and changes over time through legislative amendments, regulatory updates, and new court or tribunal decisions. The information on MyWorkRights.ca may not reflect the most recent legal developments. General information cannot account for the specific facts of your situation. Before taking legal action, filing a complaint with a regulatory body, or making decisions based on information here, consult a qualified lawyer or licensed paralegal in your jurisdiction.
Report an Error
Accuracy is our highest priority. If you find information on MyWorkRights.ca that appears to be incorrect, outdated, or misleading, please contact us at contact@myworkrights.ca with the page URL and a description of the issue. We review all reports and correct verified errors promptly.
