Infectious Disease Emergency Leave (IDEL)- UPDATE
As discussed in our earlier briefing note, on April 29, 2021, the Government of Ontario amended the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”) to entitle an employee to up to three days of paid IDEL between April 19, 2021 and September 25, 2021. That latter date was initially extended to December 31, 2021, and then to July 31, 2022. It has now been extended to March 31, 2023. All other components of the paid IDEL program remain unchanged.
Electronic Monitoring of Employees Policy – What Employers Need to Know
Effective October 11, 2022, many employers in Ontario are required to have a written policy on the electronic monitoring of employees. On July 13, 2022, the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development released its chapter material on this new requirement.
