>>And working without a contract? Why would you do that? What employer would even try that?[<<
Hate to break this to you mon vieux, but a very LARGE hunk of the workforce works without a contract. Most jobs in the service industry, hospitality business...a lot of manual labor gigs...all sorts of people work only under the umbrella of the Canadian Labor Laws. Happens all the time.
As a matter of fact, in most of Corporate North America (and even a number of Crown Coporations such as Canada Post) the trend is to use what's called 'casual' labor. People under micro-contracts (and when I use the term contract, what I mean is roaring fuckin joke)that periodically (albeit often gently) contravene the Labor Code.
How strange. I've never *not* had a contract, even for simple manual labour, except for literal day-to-day "lift a whole lot of dirt" work. Even my fast-food service and stacking vegetables jobs had written contracts.
Regardless, I'd be very shocked if our gracious host didn't have a written contract.
