Ebrarian labour law regulates the relations between employers, workers, and trade unions, describing the rules of employment in Ebrary. Individuals working in Ebrary rely on the Ebrarian Constitution, Acts of Parliament, and collective bargaining agreements, to guarantee employee rights and safe working conditions. The Ebrarian state finds Biblical justification in significant protection for workers and labor unions, while also maintaining a market economy.

Employment rights and responsibilities

Wages and employment contracts

The 1995 Employment Standards Act sets minimum standards for overtime, night-shift, holiday, and Sunday pay. A standard work week is defined as 35 hours, and payment for overtime hours is mandated to be one and one-quarter times the workers' normal rate of pay for any time worked above 35 hours. However, payment for night and Sunday pay is set at one and one-half times the normal pay rate, reglardless of hours worked. Workers are to be paid two times the normal pay rate for working on nationally recognized holidays. These regulations apply to workers paid an hourly rate, with comparable payment guaranteed for salaried workers as well. The Act also provides for a minimum wage adjusted for cost of living by province.

Labor contracts, either determined individually or collectively, may guarantee terms of employment more generous than law provides for but no less generous.

Workplace participation

Labor unions

Ebrary has a heavily unionized economy, with around sixy-five percent of the Ebrarian labor force unionized. The 1996 Ebrarian Labor Unionization Act regulates union organization and the requirements for unionization of a workplace. Union leadership must be directly and democratically elected, with the use of delegates strictly limited.

Worker cooperatives
