New Electronic Monitoring Legislation For Ontario Workers - Monitor This

The Ontario government amended the Employment Standards Act (ESA) in April 2022 to include a new part on electronic monitoring of employees. The law applies to employers with 25 or more employees, requiring them to adopt a written electronic monitoring policy, disclosing the methods and reasons for monitoring. Although condominium corporations may not be directly affected, their contracted service providers, employing more than 25 people, must comply. Condominiums can implement their own policies for on-site service providers to ensure consistency. The new law reflects the increasing concern for privacy rights and responsible technology use in the workplace.
