On May 7, 2018, the Ontario government announced that it is reinstating the former public holiday pay calculation beginning on July 1, 2018. While the new pay calculation will still apply to the upcoming May 21 statutory public holiday, the old calculation will again be in effect for the July 1, 2018, statutory holiday.

I received numerous inquiries following my blog post on the new calculation for public holiday pay effective January 1, 2018, expressing concerns of the unfairness of the new calculation. I encouraged many of you to let the Ministry of Labour and your local member of parliament know of your concerns. It is encouraging to know that your concerns were heard, considered, and affected change.

Unsubstantiated Findings In Workplace Investigations: What To Do When You Can’t Decide

When workplace investigators face difficult decisions, many default to marking allegations as "unsubstantiated" to avoid risk. However, this seemingly safe approach carries significant organizational costs, undermines complainant trust, and often stems from insufficient training in credibility assessment and the balance of probabilities standard.
