On November 22, 2017, the Ontario government passed Bill 148, Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017. This legislation brings significant changes to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), which is the law that governs most workplaces in Ontario. Many of these changes take effect on January 1, 2018. Other changes will occur on April 1, 2018.

But does Bill 148 go far enough to protect employee rights in Ontario?

Employment Lawyer Jon Pinkus joined host Tasha Kheiriddin on Global News Radio 640 Toronto to discuss the changes affecting both employers and employees that you need to be aware of.
