The British Columbia Pay Transparency Act (“PTA”) came into effect November 1, 2023, and requires that salary or wage information be included on all publicly advertised job postings. Ontario is following suit in the coming year. In the meantime, if a job could be applied for from someone in BC (think remote work), then this requirement is already in place.
I found an article from McMillan that may be helpful in understanding the requirements.
In this bulletin, we take a closer look at the new requirements for employers related to publicly advertised job postings, effective January 1, 2026, as well as the requirement to provide newly hired employees with specific employment information, effective July 1, 2025. Once in force, these requirements will apply to employers with 25 or more employees.
