Which of the following does not apply to the Canada Labour Code, Part III?

• A. Employees working for a private sector corporation
• B. Federal government employees
• C. Part-time employees
• D. Employees working for a non-profit organization

Answer: (D)

Part III governs minimum employment standards for employees in workplaces under federal jurisdiction. That means it applies to workers in federally regulated contexts, including private sector employers that operate across provincial borders, certain designated sectors (like banking, interprovincial transportation, telecommunications, and Crown corporations), and the federal government in related settings. Importantly, part-time status does not exclude someone from Part III—these standards apply to both full-time and part-time employees within those federally regulated workplaces.

Non-profit organizations, on the other hand, are typically governed by provincial employment standards unless they operate in a sector that brings them under federal jurisdiction. So, unless a non-profit is federally regulated, its employees would normally fall under provincial standards rather than Part III. That’s why the statement about employees working for a non-profit organization not applying to Part III is the correct distinction.
