Changes Coming to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and Other Work-Related Statutes
On March 20, 2023, the Government of Ontario introduced Bill 79, the Working for Workers Act, 2023. If enacted, Bill 79 will amend various work-related statutes including, the Employment Standards Act, 2000, Occupational Health and Safety Act, Employment Protection for Foreign Nationals Act, 2009, Fair Access to Regulated Professions and Compulsory Trades Act, 2006, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Act, Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997, and the Ontario Works Act, 1997.
Death by opioid overdose is an epidemic throughout communities and, in some cases, workplaces. Effective June 1, 2023, Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (“OHSA”) will require certain workplaces to have a Naloxone kit in the workplace. Ontario is the first and, thus far, only jurisdiction in Canada to require this. Should other jurisdictions follow suit, we will keep our readers apprised.
