Comparison of Provincial Employment Statutes of Canada

Question: Describe about the Comparison of Provincial Employment Statutes of Canada. Answer: Compare Saskatchewan's human rights legislation with British Columbia's human rights legislation in terms of how they protect an employee against discrimination in hiring In the Saskatchewan human rights, legislation the focus is on the bill of rights that gives certain freedom to the people of the country, which is applicable in the employment conditions in the section 16 of the law. The law protects the rights of the people during an employment condition. The employment condition of the section denotes the specific conditions that are to be maintained by the Saskatchewan human rights law (The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code and regulations, 1993). The employer in the different cases cannot discriminate against the religious practices of the employee or potential employee. This is not applicable in the cases where the school or other institution where religious instruction is needed as specialty. The age, sex or the educational qualification of the applicant cannot be discriminated against if the job description does not require those particular qualities in an employee. Nevertheless, in the case of the British Columbia human rights legislation the di fferent rights of the employees are spelled out and the conditions where they cannot be applied is not the focus of the legislation (Www2.gov.bc.ca, 2016). This legislation protects the rights of the employees against the discrimination in the grounds of age, sex, race, religion, marital status, sexual orientation and age. Therefore, the protection in the time of hiring is given to the applicants. So in other words the Saskatchewan human rights legislation points out the gaps of the bill of rights and makes sure that no undue advantage is given to the candidate when the skills or criterion are intrinsic to the ability of the person to do a job. The British Columbia legislation focuses on the rights of the employees and the focus is on the employer and their acts of discrimination. References Www2.gov.bc.ca. (2016).
