Hi there - your employer CANNOT hand you an employment contract without FRESH CONSIDERATION

such as a pay raise, promotion, additional vacation time etc.

something that benefits you

not incentive, benefit

like both parties have to benefit from the new contract

https://clg.ab.ca/programs-services/dial-a-law/signing-a-contract/

under "Written Contracts" heading - "There must be new consideration (such as a pay raise or promotion) if you are offered an employment contract when you are already working for that employer."

what classifies? well, where it was incorporated.

when you incorporate a business, you have the option of doing so federally or provincially

so a provincial corporation may be 123456 Alberta Inc

a federal would be 123456 Canada Inc.

it's up to the company, it's their choice.  If you're asking HOW do I know whether it is provincially incorporated or federally, you would have to search its legal name

https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/cc/CorporationsCanada/fdrlCrpSrch.html

you can search for federal corporations there.  If you want to search a provincial company, you would have to pay for it through a service like Cyberbahn or similar

with respect to overtime, you can read more about it here: https://www.alberta.ca/overtime-hours-overtime-pay.aspx

You can see if you fall under one of the exceptions

(I'm a lawyer in Ontario, so laws in Alberta might be SLIGHTLY different)

If you require employment advice in ALBERTA, you might consider getting a FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION from a lawyer in ALBERTA through their law society referral service here: https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/lawyer-referral/lawyer-referral-request/

You're very welcome. Hope I was able to give you a start.

Please be reminded that the advice provided here is for general information purposes only, and you should still consider retaining a lawyer for further assistance.
