: Thoughts from a Management LawyerTemporary Help Workers Get Protection in Ontario
By Michael Fitzgibbon
The McGuinty government has passed the Employment Standards Amendment Act (Temporary Help Agencies), 2009 (note: this is the second reading version) that will come into effect in 6 months.
The purpose of the Act is to:
- Making sure that they are not unfairly prevented from accessing permanent jobs when employers want to hire them from agencies.
- Prohibiting temporary help agencies from charging fees to workers for things such as resume writing and interview preparation.
- Guaranteeing that employees have the information they need about their assignments including pay schedules and job descriptions.
- Requiring agencies to provide employees with information about their new rights under the Employment Standards Act.
