Working time accounts offer employers an additional staff management tool, and can also serve as substitutes for partial and early retirement schemes. From the employees’ standpoint, working time accounts offer attractive advantages for life and retirement planning, can help motivate staff and keep qualified staff loyal to the company. The principle behind working time accounts couldn’t be simpler : employees pay time units and/or pay components into their accounts, out of current salary, bonuses, unused holiday allowances or overtime, for example. Assets are invested gross, that is, before deducting taxes and social security contributions. Employer and employee can agree to use the assets saved up to release the employee from work for a long period of time(long-term working time account) or for early retirement(lifetime working time account). 1, record 6, English, - working%20time%20account

Workers Mourning Day is always observed on April 28. Workers Mourning Day is the official Day of Mourning recognized by Parliament in 1991 in memory of workers killed or injured in the workplace. Each year on this day, the Canadian Labour Congress holds a Memorial Ceremony in Ottawa in observance of the workers killed or hurt at work. Although not a legal holiday, April 28 is recognized by the labour movement across Canada as the day to mourn victims of workplace accidents and or the renewal of the pledge to making the workplace safer. 3, record 12, English, - Workers%20Mourning%20Day
