Abstract

Worker wages constitute one of the most significant aspects of labor rights, encompassing all payments to the worker as a result of the employment contract. Given the prevailing position of the employer in the employment contract relative to the worker, there is a constant concern that, motivated by the reduction of their operational costs, the employer may allocate unfair wages to the worker. Consequently, various foundations are employed in different societies to determine the minimum wage. Social security is a crucial and fundamental indicator and component of the welfare level of workers and vulnerable segments of any society. It leads to a precise criterion for assessing satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the governance set by the community. This research, utilizing library research methods and employing descriptive-analytical and comparative approaches, investigates the laws and relevant documents of the national legal frameworks of Iran and Canada, as well as international documents. The results obtained based on the hypotheses of this study indicate that in the system of equality in rights laws of Iran and Canada, as well as international documents, the right to receive insurance benefits and employment constitute the main foundations of the equality rights system. Additionally, the relief and supportive domains complement these foundational structures
