“Ontario employers should review their on-boarding documentation to ensure that it includes the information required to be disclosed to employees on hire. Some or all of this information could also be included in a template offer letter or employment agreement. While these requirements do not take effect until July 1, 2025, employers are free to make the necessary adjustments to their employment documents prior to that deadline.

Ontario employers now have just over one (1) year to review their hiring processes and documents to ensure compliance with the new job posting and interview requirements that will take effect January 1, 2026.

While the above requirements only apply to Ontario employers with 25 or more employees, the requirements take effect immediately once an employer reaches that threshold. Employers that are near the threshold may elect to simply adopt the requirements in order to avoid having to closely track their changing head count.”
