Compare rules across jurisdictions

Each table lists one rule type in every jurisdiction Juriset covers: the rule in words, when it took effect and when it was last verified against its source.

Employment

Minimum wage — The lowest hourly wage an employer may pay an employee in this jurisdiction, with alternative rates by employer size, region or industry (tiers) and special rates for groups such as tipped or young workers (exceptions), which may be set per day, week or month, as a percentage of the general rate, or as an exclusion.
Overtime — When an employer must pay overtime and at what rate: the weekly and daily hour thresholds, the multiplier and what it multiplies (the regular rate or the minimum wage), any double-time rule, the groups exempt from overtime, and alternative ways some groups' overtime hours are counted.
Paid leave — Statutory leave programs an employer must provide or honour: paid sick leave, family and medical leave (paid or unpaid, e.g. FMLA), annual vacation and general paid time off, with accrual, annual limits and eligibility.
Termination notice — The written notice (or pay instead of notice) an employer must give an individual employee before ending their employment without cause, by length of service. Group or mass layoff notice is not part of this rule type.

Payroll

Social insurance contributions — The pension and health insurance contributions an employer withholds from an employee's pay and pays on it: each program's employee and employer rates, the band of annual earnings the rates apply to (exemption or threshold, and ceiling), and the maximum annual contributions the source states. US Social Security and Medicare, the Canada Pension Plan (CPP and CPP2) and the Québec Pension Plan.
Unemployment insurance contributions — The unemployment and income-replacement insurance premiums an employer pays, and withholds where the employee pays a share: each program's rates, the maximum insurable earnings or wage base, credits against the rate, rates that differ by region, and the maximum annual premiums the source states. US federal unemployment tax (FUTA), Canadian Employment Insurance (EI) and the Québec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP).
