Ensuring that you are complying....
Here is the thing.....there are a lot of companies out there within Ontario that are still not in compliance with some of the laws for employers. Why is that? Are they not in tune with all the different laws? Do they think they are above the law?
The big question is....what does it take to be in compliance with the laws in Ontario for employers?
Well, it takes getting your head out of the sand and learn about your responsibilities as an employer. I personally think that once you register a company you should get a package about your responsibilities as an employer. I think you should also get some of the tools that you need in order to have some insight as to what it is you are going to need. Regardless if you have one or ten thousand employees the laws are the same. Is the USA the laws are actually different depending on how many employees you employ. I have to admit, that is the silliest thing I have ever heard! The government has a real concern, surprisingly, for work and family balance. This is the wellness that has been a project for the government for the past few years. They have now decided to hire more inspectors and get them out there looking at ALL companies.
Did you know that if you do not have any of the ESA posters in your work areas that is visible to all employees that is fine?
This is just food for thought. If oyu would like to know more, please contact us at 1-888-716-7791 or info@the-staffroom.com and we will respond within 2 business days.
I look forward to all your questions......
This will continue on a weekly basis in order to help give companies insight and answers.
