The changes that accompanied Ontario’s Bill 148 (aka the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017) have brought us an updated Employment Standards poster for 2018.

You may be asking what should be on that bulletin board? Good question! According to the Ministry of Labour the following must be posted in a place visible to all employees, and a bulletin board is just the place:

o Employment Standards in Ontario Poster (updated for 2018)
o Occupational Health and Safety Act
o Health & Safety at Work: Prevention Starts Here Poster
o Your Health and Safety Policy
o You Workplace Violence Policy
o Your Workplace Harassment Policy
o Information about your Joint Health and Safety Committee
o Incase of Injury Poster (WSIA)

Good news! The Ministry of Labour makes this fairly easy. Click here for comprehensive information on posting requirements, including links, courtesy of the Ministry of Labour.

Employers, be sure your bulletin boards are compliant. It isn’t worth the headache or the penalties if they aren’t.
