Petros 724 inc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans un arr\u00eat rendu le 5 novembre 2026, la Cour d\u2019appel du Qu\u00e9bec (la \u00ab Cour \u00bb) a rejet\u00e9 l\u2019appel de Mme Angela Marchetta et confirm\u00e9 que la <em>Loi sur les normes du travail<\/em> (la \u00ab LNT \u00bb) ne s\u2019appliquait pas \u00e0 sa situation. La Cour devait d\u00e9terminer si la LNT pouvait s\u2019appliquer \u00e0 une salari\u00e9e d\u2019une entreprise am\u00e9ricaine, Petros 724 inc. (\u00ab Petros \u00bb), qui effectuait la majeure partie de son travail depuis sa r\u00e9sidence de Bromont, au Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mme Marchetta travaillait \u00e0 l\u2019aide de son propre ordinateur et de son t\u00e9l\u00e9phone personnel et desservait uniquement des clients am\u00e9ricains de Petros. Bien qu\u2019elle ait travaill\u00e9 depuis le Qu\u00e9bec, Petros n\u2019y avait ni si\u00e8ge, ni r\u00e9sidence, ni domicile, ni \u00e9tablissement. \u00c0 la suite de la fin de son emploi, Mme Marchetta a d\u00e9pos\u00e9 une plainte pour cong\u00e9diement sans cause juste et suffisante en vertu de l\u2019article 124 LNT. Le Tribunal administratif du travail (le \u00ab TAT \u00bb) a d\u2019abord conclu que la LNT trouvait application, consid\u00e9rant notamment que le domicile \u00e0 partir duquel elle travaillait constituait un \u00ab \u00e9tablissement \u00bb de Petros au Qu\u00e9bec. Cette d\u00e9cision a toutefois \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9voqu\u00e9e par le TAT si\u00e9geant en r\u00e9vision, qui a rejet\u00e9 la plainte. La Cour sup\u00e9rieure a ensuite rejet\u00e9 le pourvoi en contr\u00f4le judiciaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Cour d\u2019appel rappelle que, lorsque le travail est ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 \u00e0 la fois au Qu\u00e9bec et hors du Qu\u00e9bec, l\u2019article 2 LNT exige deux facteurs de rattachement distincts, qui doivent tous deux \u00eatre pr\u00e9sents : le travail doit \u00eatre ex\u00e9cut\u00e9 en partie au Qu\u00e9bec, et l\u2019employeur doit lui-m\u00eame \u00eatre rattach\u00e9 \u00e0 la province par sa r\u00e9sidence, son domicile, son entreprise, son si\u00e8ge ou son bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, Petros n\u2019avait au Qu\u00e9bec ni r\u00e9sidence, ni domicile, ni si\u00e8ge, ni bureau, et la preuve ne permettait pas de conclure qu\u2019elle y exploitait une entreprise, puisqu\u2019elle n\u2019y exer\u00e7ait aucune activit\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de clients qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois. En l\u2019absence de locaux ou de toute autre pr\u00e9sence physique de l\u2019employeur au Qu\u00e9bec, les conditions de l\u2019article 2 LNT n\u2019\u00e9taient pas r\u00e9unies. La Cour souligne que le texte de cette disposition est clair et que, malgr\u00e9 le caract\u00e8re rem\u00e9diateur de la LNT, elle ne peut faire abstraction de cette exigence, rappelant qu\u2019\u00ab il n\u2019appartient pas \u00e0 la Cour de r\u00e9\u00e9crire la loi \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cet arr\u00eat apporte une pr\u00e9cision importante pour les employeurs \u00e9tablis hors du Qu\u00e9bec dont des salari\u00e9s travaillent \u00e0 distance depuis la province : le seul fait qu\u2019un salari\u00e9 ex\u00e9cute son travail \u00e0 partir de son domicile qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois ne suffit pas \u00e0 y cr\u00e9er un \u00e9tablissement de l\u2019employeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans le cadre de ces proc\u00e9dures, l\u2019Association canadienne des avocats d\u2019employeurs, intervenante au dossier, \u00e9tait repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par une \u00e9quipe compos\u00e9e de Gary Rosen, Claudia Desjardins B\u00e9lisle et Philippe Larochelle (Droit de l\u2019emploi et du travail), qui a plaid\u00e9 devant la Cour d\u2019appel le 6 mai 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"template":"","class_list":["post-58183","deals-cases","type-deals-cases","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized
