Employment Standards Act Poster

In accordance with Employment Standards Act, the Minister of Labour prepares and updates a poster that summarizes the ESA and all of  its regulations This poster is titled “What You Should Know About the Employment Standards Act” and should be posted in a conspicuous place in the workplace.   A poster copy is attached. The reason the Ministry publishes this poster is to make sure that not employers understand their obligations toward their employees, but also that employees know their rights.

What does the poster contain?A brief summary of the “highlight” of the employment standards act. including:

  • the hours of work
  • rest periods
  • overtime pay
  • minimum wage
  • payroll records
  • vacation time and pay
  • public holidays
  • leaves of absence from work
  • termination notice and pay
  • reprisals
  • enforcement

What do you do if your workplace does not speak English?
If the majority language of a workplace is a language other than English, the employer must contact the Ministry of Labour to see whether the ministry has prepared a translation of the poster into that language

Do you need to hang the poster?
An employer who fails to meet these posting requirements may be fined and/or prosecuted by the ministry.
