Making sense of Alberta’s labour standards and labour laws

Are you dealing with questions about Alberta Labour Standards, the Labour Board, or labour laws in your workplace? Whether you’re in Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray or anywhere in Alberta, our team of HR experts is ready to help with free, confidential advice.

What Are Alberta Labour Standards?

Alberta’s labour standards are the minimum requirements employers must follow in the workplace. These standards are enforced by the Employment Standards Branch (ESB) and cover:

Minimum wage
Hours of work and rest
Overtime pay
Public holidays and vacation
Youth employment
Terminations and notice periods
Job-protected leaves

Understanding and following these standards protects your business and helps you avoid costly penalties or disputes with employees.

Who Oversees Labour Laws in Alberta?

Several agencies regulate Alberta’s labour environment:

Employment Standards Branch (ESB)
Alberta Labour Relations Board (ALRB)
Ministry of Jobs, Economy and Trade

These agencies respond to employee complaints, conduct inspections, and enforce workplace rules. If you’ve received a call, letter, or complaint—or simply want to prevent future issues—we can help you understand your next steps.
