Q&A: Bill 148 increases vacation entitlements for all employees

In partnership with Stringer LLP, First Reference Inc. recently hosted the 19th Annual Employment Law Conference on June 12, 2018, where we discussed the latest legal developments on topics including practical compliance strategies in light of Bill 148.

In this conference Q&A, we address the increases to vacation entitlements brought forth by Bill 148.
