HR Law Series

Employer Registration - Businesswoman shaking hands with a businessman. Three other professionals of diverse backgrounds are also present at the meeting.

Bill 148: What Every Employer Needs to Know!

Williams HR Law and The Career Foundation are partnering to deliver an employer-specific workshop to help small, meduium and large business owners comply with changes to Ontario’s Employment and Labour Laws. The workshop will focus on legislative changes that will create more opportunity and security for workers across Ontario.

  • Date:  Tuesday, February 6, 2018
  • Time:  9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Breakfast Included!)
  • Location:  Holiday Inn Toronto-Yorkdale, Albany Room, 3450 Dufferin St., Toronto, ON M6A 2V1
  • Cost:  $175 + HST per participant

Description: Major changes are coming to Ontario’s workplaces by January 1, 2018, with the Ontario government’s push to pass Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017. Although most of the media coverage has focused on the substantial increase to the minimum wage, Bill 148 (which recently received Royal Assent) will make wide-ranging amendments to employee rights and employer obligations under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and Labour Relations Act, 1995. Through a presentation conducted by Williams HR Law, you’ll get the chance to review the amendments contained in Bill 148 as well as the implications of these changes for your workplace.


Learning Objectives

1.) Understand the legislative amendments.

2.) Learn about new obligations and what they will mean for your business.

3.) Identify strategies for adhering to the new statutory obligations while continuing to effectively manage your workforce.

Yesterday, The Career Foundation joined partners f Yesterday, The Career Foundation joined partners from across the province at Queen’s Park for Advocacy Day, hosted by @firstworkontario . As part of Ontario’s Workforce Development Network — representing more than 115 employment and employer service providers — we met with MPPs and ministers to share one clear, collective message: strong workforce systems matter.

With a united voice, our conversations focused on practical solutions that strengthen results for Ontarians: stabilizing funding to move beyond short‑term cycles, reducing red tape so frontline teams can focus on people rather than administration, and leveraging community‑level expertise to respond quickly to labour market needs. These are proven ways to increase impact, efficiency, and value from existing investments.

We also had the opportunity to meet with MPPs from the constituencies where The Career Foundation operates, grounding system‑level priorities in local impact. These discussions highlighted how employment services help people facing barriers to employment build stability — improving outcomes not only in work, but across income support, health, and community well‑being.

Thank you to the government representatives and partners who took the time to connect with us:

Mohamed Firin, MPP for York South–Weston and Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills
