Advisory Council on the Status of Women: Employment Standards

Advisory Council on the Status of Women

Employment Standards

In January 2006, the Province of Prince Edward Island initiated a review of its Employment Standards Act, the labour code for the province. Documents from the Employment Standards Review are available from Labour Relations, including a Consultation Paper and Terms of Reference.

The Advisory Council on the Status of Women submitted a recommendations report to the Review Panel in March 2006. These recommendations focused primarily on Maternity, Parental, and Adoption Leave.

After its public consultations, the Employment Standards Review Panel presented its findings in a Final Report in September 2006.

The Province invited comments from groups that had participated in the public consultation. The Advisory Council on the Status of Women submitted its analysis of the Review Panel's Recommendations in August 2007.

In January 2008, the Advisory Council restated the importance of up-to-date Employment Standards in light of public hearings on Sunday shopping.
