Employee rights
All employees have the right to work in a safe and healthy environment. WorkSafeBC sets minimum health and safety standards that employers must meet. If you are injured on the job, you have the right to be compensated for damages, such as lost income.
Know what you post
It is generally accepted that employees can be disciplined for 'off duty' misconduct involving social media, if the conduct negatively affects the employer's legitimate interests. In certain cases, public criticism of an employer can be sufficient enough for termination.
