We particularly caution readers researching workplace laws in Quebec. In addition to their French language, Quebec is governed by civil law, not common law, and has a different legal system than the rest of the country. This includes various benefits and taxing systems. Case law will often apply across the country, including Quebec, but will inevitably have unique nuances if the case is based on Quebec legislation.

Note: Only about 10% of the Canadian population is governed by federal labour law, with provincial laws governing most employment relationships. Other federal laws, however, cover everyone (with some Quebec exceptions), such as the Canada Pension Plan and Service Canada.
