Wednesday, November 30, 2005 Federal Jurisdiction Workplace Survey2004 (preliminary)The Federal Jurisdiction Workplace Survey is the first survey to provide information on employees and employers that fall under the jurisdiction of federal labour standards legislation (contained in Part III of the Canada Labour Code). The survey collects information on workplace policies and human resource management practices. For the first time ever, data are available, for the reference year 2004, on the main sectors that fall within the federal jurisdiction — notably the banking, communications, and transportation sectors (including air, maritime, rail and road) — with breakdowns available according to size of business and region. Data are now available on hours of work, leave entitlements, wages, benefits and the working environments of employees who work for federal jurisdiction employers. This survey, which was undertaken for the Labour Program, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, will allow analysis of working conditions in businesses within the federal jurisdiction and will support the review of federal labour standards legislation which is now underway. The survey data will also allow researchers to examine working conditions of businesses in the federal jurisdiction. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 5076. For more information or to enquire about the concepts, methods or data quality of this release, contact Yves Gauthier (613-951-0188; yves.gauthier@statcan.gc.ca), Small Business and Special Surveys Division. |
