Northwest Territories employment standards

Canada has no at-will employment. In Northwest Territories, termination notice, vacation entitlement, statutory holidays, and protected grounds come from provincial employment standards and human rights legislation. Your handbook draft uses employment-standards framing — never at-will language — and flags the Northwest Territories-specific points to confirm with counsel.
