๐Ontario plans to toughen penalties for "bad actor" employers by introducing legislation to increase fines for violations of the Employment Standards Act. Labour Minister David Piccini aims to deter exploitation of workers by targeting organizations that withhold wages, discriminate against employees on pregnancy or parental leave, or practice unequal pay. The maximum individual fine will double to $100,000, with fines of up to $5,000 for repeat offenders. Recent investigations revealed $4.2 million owed to 10,000 Ontario workers, prompting the government to prioritize worker protection. The measures are part of a comprehensive labour bill to be presented in the legislature next week.โ . ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฑ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ @taxesatjoy @augustine.joy_ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐ผ๐จ๐จ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ค๐ก๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฝ๐ช๐จ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐พ๐ค๐ง๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ผ๐ช๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ +๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ@๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ฅ.๐๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ.๐ญ๐๐ฑ๐๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ฃ๐จ๐ฒ.๐๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ . . #OntarioLabour #EmploymentStandardsAct #WorkerProtection #FairLabourPractices #OntarioWorkers #LabourRights #EmployerAccountability #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
