Human Resources

Policy, employment standards, labour and employee relations, and the paperwork an employer is required to hold — for businesses with no HR department, or one person carrying all of it.

What HR does an Ontario employer legally have to have?

Ontario employers must provide the ESA poster and written policies on workplace violence and harassment, keep employment records for the periods set out in the Employment Standards Act, and investigate harassment complaints. Employers with 25 or more workers must also have written policies on disconnecting from work and electronic monitoring. Most small employers meet none of these until something goes wrong.
