Hello, Could you please point me to some information regarding employment standards for professionals? On the Manitoba Employment Standards website I found this "Other employees, such as some agricultural workers, construction workers, professionals, part-time domestic workers, landscape workers and, election workers are entitled to some employment standards but not all." I cannot find the information though on which professionals are entitled to what. Thanks

The Manitoba Employment Standards Regulations, https://www.canlii.org/en/mb/laws/regu/man-reg-6-2007/latest/man-reg-6-2007.pdf  list the ESC exemptions. Section 5 deals with professionals. It says: Professions 5 Except for Divisions 5 (annual vacations and vacation allowances), 9 (unpaid leaves) and 13 (equal wages) and subdivisions 1 and 3 of Division 10 (termination of employment), Part 2 does not apply to an employee who (a) is qualified to practise and is practising or employed in a profession that is governed underan Act of the Legislature that applies solely to the profession; or (b) is registered or enrolled and employed as astudent-in-training in respect of such a profession Check the other parts of the Regs. for ESC application to other occupations and industries. Hope that helps. Glenn
