Note: This Act amends the Employment Standards Act, 2000 . For the legislative history of the Act, see the Table of Consolidated Public Statutes – Detailed Legislative History on www.e-Laws.gov.on.ca.
Bill 139 2008
An Act to amend the Employment Standards Act, 2000 in relation to temporary help agencies and certain other matters.
The Bill will come into force six months after it receives Royal Assent, which gives employers some time to prepare for the new rules. See the website linked above for more information on the Bill and specifics related to the revisions, it’s implementation and new amendments relative to procedural matters.
Bottom line is that this newly proposed legislation is very relevant to temp agencies or those who employ “temps”.
