Alberta > Employment Law > Hours of Work:

When I interviewed for a job, the employer said I might have to work weekends. Can this be a job requirement?

Yes. Although the Employment Standards Code states that an employer must allow employees days of rest, in Alberta there is no mention which days they have to be. If weekend work is a job requirement, consider this when deciding whether to take the job.
