XYZ company has just opened a factory in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has different laws than in Canada. The age that the law allows for young people to be employed full-time is much lower than in Canada. If XYZ hires employees who are younger than allowed by law in Canada but legal in Bangladesh what is the most likely outcome?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company may save money by hiring younger employees at lower wages, but it will have a negative reputation if it is known that they are breaking Canadian laws. However, since they are adhering to the laws of the country in which they are operating, they are unlikely to be charged under Canadian or international law.
