There is that saying ... Knowledge is Power. There is so much truth in that, especially when it comes to employees and employers. There are rights afforded to all workers and it is important for everyone in the workplace to know the rules and rights.
At Continuum II Inc. we wanted to share some very important information about workplace rules, rights and regulations.
The Employment Standards Act, also known as the ESA, is a law that sets minimum standards for workplaces in Ontario. It covers a range of employment standards including: minimum requirements for workplaces; provisions to assist employees with family responsibilities; increased flexibility in work arrangements; and mechanisms for compliance and enforcement.
To have a closer look at the document click here.
If you have questions and want more information check out this government website. Of course, the ESA contains only some of the rules affecting workers and workplaces in the province. Other provincial and federal legislation governs issues such as workplace health and safety, human rights and labour relations. Related Ontario laws include the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997, the Labour Relations Act, 1995, the Pay Equity Act, and the Human Rights Code.
