FAQ
The Employment Standards Act, 2000, known as the ESA, is a law that sets minimum standards for workplaces in Ontario. If you work in Ontario, you are probably protected by the ESA. It does not cover employees in federal jurisdiction and persons in a few other special categories.
No, the ESA in Ontario doesn't require a 15-minute break for shifts of four hours or less. It does, however, require a 30-minute meal break after five hours of work.
Specific provisions in the ESA permit a retail employee to refuse to work on a Sunday or holiday. Even where the employee has agreed to work on a Sunday or holiday, he or she may decline to do so, but must provide 48 hours' notice. There are nine statutory holidays in Ontario.
On November 27, 2024, the Ontario government introduced the Working for Workers Six Act, 2024 (Bill 229). Bill 229 proposes amendments to various employment-related statutes, including the Employment Standards Act, 2000, Occupational Health and Safety Act, and Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.
Most employees in Ontario are governed by provincial legislation, but those working for large employers such as banks are subject to the Canada Labour Code.
The Ontario Labour Relations Act (OLRA) governs the relationship between unions and employers in most Ontario workplaces. Among other things, it covers the process for bringing a union into a workplace (organizing) and negotiating a first contract (collective bargaining).
The Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) protects employees and sets minimum standards for most workplaces in Ontario. Employers are prohibited from penalizing employees in any way for exercising their ESA rights.
Labour Day (French: fête du Travail) is a statutory public holiday in Canada that occurs on the first Monday in September. It is one of several Labour Day celebrations that occur in countries around the world. The Canadian celebration of Labour Day occurs on the same day each year as Labor Day in the United States.
Common law reasonable notice refers to the notice period that an employer must give to an employee when terminating their employment without cause. This period is designed to provide the employee with sufficient time to secure new employment and mitigate the impact of the job loss on their livelihood.
Workers, however, have the power to protect their health and safety. Ontario law spells out the three rights that give workers this power: the right to know, the right to participate, and the right to refuse. Workers have the right to know about workplace health and safety hazards.
