Ontario’s amendment to its Employment Standards Act, called the “Working for Workers Act”, has brought about some progressive and modern changes to the workplace. Among other things, the Working for Workers Act requires organizations that employ 25 or more employees to have in place a written policy on the electronic monitoring of its employees. This policy is required by November 10, 2022 – meaning it will be a tight turn around for employers to get the policy in place.
We will discuss what this change entails, and what protections this actually provides for workers concerned with monitoring in the workplace.
