640 Toronto – Does Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act Go Far Enough?
On November 22, 2017, the Ontario government passed Bill 148, Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017. This legislation brings significant changes to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), which is the law that governs most workplaces in Ontario. Many of these changes take effect on January 1, 2018. Other changes will occur on April 1, 2018.
