Going Full Circle: Significant Employment Reforms Clawed Back as of January 2019
Author:
DEBORAH A. HOWDEN
Publication date:
April 12, 2019
Article Summary:
The article discusses the employment law reforms that were introduced in Ontario between November 2017 and April 2018, which included changes to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) and the Labour Relations Act (LRA) under Bill 148. However, many of these reforms were repealed by Bill 47, the Making Ontario Open for Business Act, 2018, effective January 1, 2019. The repealed changes include provisions related to minimum wage, equal pay for equal work, leaves of absence, scheduling, and penalties for breach. Despite the rollback, certain leave provisions, such as pregnancy leave, parental leave, critical illness and family medical leave, and domestic or sexual violence leave, remain intact.
