Contracted or Part time workers in Canada


When any company hires part-time workers or employees, we assume they don't have much work, but some important job needs to be done; that's why they are taking part-time employees. As a part-time employee, you don't have access to all benefits from the government and the employee, and there is no guarantee of working hours, etc. After joining, we found that the employee started giving you more hours than a full-time employee; you have tons of work to do in the limited time, so they need to appoint more people. But your status remains as a part-time employee, not a permanent or full-time employee with all available benefits.

Some work as contract workers. Again, they don't have any job security. After every contract, they must keep applying to get the job. This continues year after year, and they are still not full-time permanent employees. They don't have job security, mental peace, or the full benefits they deserve. This is inhuman.

We need to improve this situation. Any employee who worked 35 hours or more for 3 months (maybe not in a row) should be appointed a full-time employee. We understand that the organization needs a full-time employee, and they have an experienced part-time employee who can work full-time. 

Any employee who worked as a contracted or part-time employee for 1 year should be offered a full-time position. By this time, the organization already knows how the employee works, and the employee also has an idea of how this organization is suited for them.

This will encourage any employee to work better, delicately and with peace of mind, which will affect their work directly, and any employer can have better service and dedicated employees in their organization. People should have a good work environment in Canada.
