The Ontario Ministry of Labour has prepared and published a new Employment Standards Act, 2000 ("ESA") poster entitled "Employment Standards in Ontario". The poster is version 6.0 in a long line of ESA posters and Ontario employers were required to post it in the workplace effective as of May 1, 2015. The poster outlines for employees their rights under the ESA and the requirements of employers under the ESA.

The Ministry's rules regarding the new ESA poster are as follows:

  • The poster must be in English but if the majority workplace language is other than English and if the Ministry has version 6.0 available in that language, then both posters must be posted side by side.
  • Version 5.0 should be removed at the time that version 6.0 is posted.
