As you may or may not know the Goverment of Ontario had been working on the new Bill that would influence the way many staffing agencies will be doing bussines in Onatrio. Bill 139 passed royal assent on May 6, 2009.....

The Employment Standards Act, 2000, known as the ESA, is a law that sets minimum standards for workplaces in Ontario. If you work in Ontario, you are probably protected by the ESA. It does not cover employees in federal jurisdiction and persons in a few other special categories. There are exceptions and special rules for some employees and not all employees qualify for all ESA rules.
