In the list below are comprehensive guides and advice on the statutory employment rights that relate to worklife balance. However, these rights set limits on the very least an employer can provide without breaking the law.

These additional rights are gained, in the main, through agreements unions have negotiated with employers. Unions and employers must work jointly to develop effective, sustainable worklife initiatives and contractual agreements that extend the minimum statutory rights.
