Attention Employers: Legal Changes Coming To Job Posting Requirements

Attention employers and job seekers! As a result of some incoming changes to the Employment Standards Act, job postings are about to look different!

Ontario's Working For Workers Four Act received Royal Assent on March 21, 2024. And now, a brief interlude on Ontario's law-making process in case you've forgotten: Royal Assent is the last step in the process that makes a Bill law.

Once the Bill receives Royal Assent, it is officially law. However, in some cases, like with this Bill, many of the changes are not yet in force and will only take effect at a later date. In this case, this is good news as it gives employers a chance to consider how to operationalize the new changes.
