In the last decade, privacy interests have become part of the everyday parlance of human resource professionals across Canada. This is the case even in those jurisdictions, of which there are still many, that lack a statutory framework of employee privacy protections. The Canadian landscape is very much a patchwork of legislated personal information protection, personal health information protection, and torts as well as common law rights. Employers in the federal jurisdiction, British Columbia, Alberta, and Quebec have comprehensive statutes in place that prescribe how employees’ personal information may be collected used and disclosed.
