Modifications To An ALS (Quebec) And Provisions Regarding Differential Treatment

As you know, most of the new provisions regarding differential treatment provided by Bill 176: An Act to amend the Act respecting labour standards and other legislative provisions mainly to facilitate family-work balance will come into force on January 1^st, 2019. We would like to advise you however that the CNESST takes the position that the new provision¹ which states that a personnel placement agency cannot remunerate an employee at a lower rate of wage than that granted to the employees of the client enterprise who perform the same tasks in the same establishment solely because of the employee's employment status will only come into force with the adoption by the government of a regulation regulating personnel placement agencies.
