Human Resources Pyramid of Concepts:
1. HR laws and regulations
2. Organizational Context
3. Leadership Contact
4. Management Context
5. HR Process and Procedures

The hierarchy of HR rules:
1. Federal and Provincial Laws and Regulations
2. Collective Agreements and/or Employment Contracts: This piece can never
supersede #1.
3. Organizational Policies The policy cannot be against the Collective Agreement.
4. Common Law: Accepted by a Judge.
5. Arbitrators create Jurisprudence Can make a decision whereas mediation is binding.

Note: Every statue has an introductory piece/purpose section, then definitions (if not
there then Interpretation Act), when new legislation introduced then Hansard, then
regulations, then different acts have different hierarchies. Education Act supersedes
labour act. Part 2 Sec 1/2.
