Yes for my uni especially engineering there is. But honour's cousework is more research intensive than non-honour's coursework, but the guidelines are the same e.g write a paper/report, research case studies and formal presentation.
In order to do honours you must have an average mark of 60/100 for my engineering school, other faculties/unis might have different ruling though.
By the way either you have honour or non-honour it will not really jeopardise your chances of gaining employment, there are other qualities that employers seek from graduates, e.g communication skills, team building skills and etc, and also either can you "fit in" and work in their organisation.
