There are new requirements regarding the posting and distribution of the Ontario Ministry of Labour employment standards poster entitled "Employment Standards in Ontario".

Posting Requirements

Effective as of May 1, 2015, employers are required to post the most recent version of the poster (version 6.0) in the workplace where it is likely to come to the attention of employees. The poster must be displayed in English, unless the majority language of the workplace is a language other than English and the Ministry has published a version of the poster in that language. If so, the employer is required to post a copy of the translation next to the English version of the poster. The poster can be downloaded and printed here. The poster must be printed out on letter-size paper, in colour or black and white.
