HR professionals are talking about three issues that have the
potential to impact the Canadian workplace in 2019:
1. Bill 47 – Employment Standards Act Changes –
"Follow the bouncing red ball"
In October 2018, the Ontario government introduced Bill 47,
Making Ontario Open for Business Act, 2018, which reversed
many of the changes (and proposed changes) to the prior
government's Bill 148, FairWorkplaces, Better Jobs
Act, 2017. With such recent changes to Ontario's
Employment Standards Act impacting important provisions (such as
minimum wage, personal emergency leave, formulas for public holiday
pay, equal pay for equal work, employee/contractor classifications,
and so on) are you starting to feel like your organization is
simply following the bouncing red ball?
