I start my new job December 5th. Although the majority of offices are located in the State of New York the corporate office is located in Toronto Canada. Does anyone have any resources that I can utilize to learn more about Canadian law. I have to write new handbooks including a Handbook for the Toronto office?

Use resources cited above and good old Wikipedia to gain a basic understanding of Canadian law/legal systems. Understand “employment law” up there includes “employment” but also “Human Rights”, “Indigenous Peoples” and “First Nations” laws. Realize that employment there is much more controlled by statue than typical US employment (e.g. termination rights, leave/vacation rights, etc.) but also dependent upon “common law” as developed by court and “tribunal” precedent.

I would take a look at the official government website for a general overview of most policies, available here, to start :https://www.canada.ca/en/services/business/permits/federallyregulatedbusinessactivities/humanresourcesregulations.html

Go to Toronto's government website. They should have most of the information that you need. You may also be able to go to your local court and get public documents.

You can check multiple reliable sites so you can double check their accuracy with the official government website as your main source. Here's another link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/learn-about-canada/laws.html

You're welcome! Glad to be of help.

I’m marrying my fiancé next month but I can’t stop thinking about other women. Specifically a few that I work with and have grown close to.

Received a job offer ($118K), $17k less than the starting point of the range ($135k - $165K) for this position that the recruiter initially communicated to me. Tried to negotiate and they came back not budging on base but an increased bonus amount (extra 5%). I am interested in the position but can’t help but feel unhappy with their offer. How would you handle? Can I try negotiating again or is a 2nd time too much back and forth?
