On March 21, 2024, Ontario passed the fourth Working for Workers Act ("Bill 149"). Bill 149 amends the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”) and Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (“WSIB”) benefits under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 (“WSIA”). Effective immediately, Bill 149 amended the ESA to clarify that: 🟢 Any person performing work in a trial period is an employee for the purpose of the ESA. 🟢 An employer cannot deduct an employee's wages in the event of a dine and dash or gas and dash, or in the event of any other stolen property. On June 21, 2024, the following amendments to the ESA will take effect: 🟢 If an employer has a policy regarding pooling tips – meaning the employer or a director or shareholder of the employer shares in the tip pool – that policy must be posted in the workplace and retained for three years after it ceases to be in effect. 🟢 An employer who pays an employee their tips by direct deposit must allow the employee to select into which account they want this money deposited. 🟢 An employer who pays an employee by cash or cheque must ensure the cash or cheque is given to the employee at their workplace or some other place agreeable to the employee. 🟢 A change in the language of the vacation pay provisions to clarify that a written agreement is required if an employer pays vacation pay in any way other than a lump sum. For example, many employers pay out vacation pay as a percentage on each pay cheque. This practice requires a written agreement with the employee. Does this raise more questions than it answers?
