New Employment Law Amendments Require Disclosures for Salary in
Job Ads, AI Usage
With new legislation for employers in Ontario, including
charities and not-for-profits, employers will have to disclose
expected salary ranges for publicly advertised job positions, state
whether they use artificial intelligence to screen applicants, and
can no longer require Canadian work experience. Bill 149, the Working for Workers Four Act, 2024
(the "Act"), received Royal Assent in the Ontario
Legislative Assembly on March 21, 2024, with amendments to four
employment law related statutes: the Employment Standards Act,
2000 (the "ESA"), the Digital
Platform Workers' Rights Act, 2022 (the
"DPWRA"), the Fair Access to
Regulated Professions and Compulsory Trades Act,
2006("FARPCTA"), the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 ("WSIA").
Not all of the amendments have yet come into force, as noted below.
The Act is the fourth in a series of employment law amending
statutes enacted
