The most recent changes to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act (ESA)

Last year, Bill 148, The Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act brought in swift and massive changes to Ontario’s employment and labour laws. Now, just one year later, there’s another significant set of legislative changes in place—and more changes to come—that employers need to understand.

At this year’s conference, we will provide practical pointers on post-implementation of the recent changes to Ontario’s ESA requirements as a result of Bill 47, Making Ontario Open for Business Act, 2018 and Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2019.

Other essential topics
