Changes to the Employment Standards Act

Bill 148 does a lot more than increase the minimum wage to $14/hr. 

On January 1, 2018, many provisions of the Ontario Government’s Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act (Bill 148) will come into force. While changes to the minimum wage have dominated the headlines, there are many other important provisions that will impact employers.
