Introducing the New Administrative Monetary Penalty System and Its Connection to Part IV of the Canada Labour Code

Description

Part IV of the Canada Labour Code (the Code) came into force on January 1, 2021, to provide for the issuance of Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs) and publishing names of violators in federally-regulated workplaces, to promote compliance with Part II (Occupational Health and Safety) and Part III (Labour Standards) of the Code. AMPs apply to the federal public service in respect of any violations to occupational health and safety.

This event will provide an overview of the administrative monetary penalty system and public naming under Part IV of the Code, and our panellists will discuss the scope and limits of Part IV of the Code and the new Administrative Monetary Penalty (Canada Labour Code) Regulations in the federal public service.

The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.
