Upcoming Webinar | March 21 | BILL 148: Understanding (and Complying) with the New Obligations Under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and Labour Relations Act, 1995

Bill 148 introduces significant amendments to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”) and Labour Relations Act, 1995 (“LRA”), many of which took effect on January 1, 2018, with others coming into force on April 1, 2018 and January 1, 2019.
