How Do You Check if Your Employer Is Federally Regulated?

  1. Check the legal employer name. Look at your employment contract or pay statement. It may differ from the brand you recognize.
  2. Check what the business does. Compare its operations with the federal industries above. Having offices across Canada doesn’t automatically make a company federally regulated.
  3. Confirm your specific workplace. A subsidiary or contractor isn’t automatically federally regulated because it works with a bank, airline or other federal business.

💡 Can’t Find Your Employer? The government’s Legislated Employment Equity Program covers federally regulated employers with 100 or more employees. Smaller businesses can also be federally regulated, so being absent from this directory doesn’t settle which law applies to your job.


What Rights Do Federally Regulated Employees Have?

The Canada Labour Code sets minimum employment standards for covered workplaces, including pay, working hours, vacation, leaves and termination.

Your full severance entitlement can exceed those minimums – you could be owed as much as 24 months’ pay. Your contract and circumstances can affect the compensation you’re owed. Eligible employees can also have rights to challenge an unjust dismissal.

Read our severance pay guide for federally regulated employees for the termination rules and compensation details.


Federally Regulated Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Are Bank Employees Federal Government Employees?

No. Working for a federally regulated bank doesn’t make you a federal public servant. Federal government employees have different employment rules, and the Code’s Part III employment standards don’t apply to the federal public service.

Does Working in Ontario, Alberta or BC Change Federal Coverage?

No. Employees of a federally regulated bank follow federal employment standards even when their branch is in Ontario, Alberta or BC. The branch’s location alone doesn’t determine which rules apply.

Are Grocery Stores, Hospitals and Universities Federally Regulated?

Most grocery stores, hospitals and universities fall under provincial employment laws. A separate transportation business within a larger corporate group may have different coverage, so check the actual employer.
