Staffing & Recruitment Industry | March 27, 2025 at 2PM EST
Navigating legal compliance in the staffing industry is no small task. To help you stay informed and proactive, we’re bringing you an exclusive Legal Compliance Forum on Thursday, March 27, 2025 from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST!
In this webinar, our team of lawyers and industry experts will unpack noteworthy legal developments, including changes introduced by Ontario’s Working for Workers’ Act legislation. Join us for this comprehensive overview of the latest legal developments affecting your staffing firm to ensure that your organization is prepared for the year ahead, covering the following topics:
- Licensing Issuance and ACSESS Focus on Enforcement: We’ll provide members with an overview of the current licensing framework (application to staffing firms and recruiters) and an update on our collaborative efforts to ensure a strong commitment to enforcement. Learn more about the MLTSD Enforcement plan and ACSESS’ commitment to ensuring that unethical and illegal operators are held accountable.
- Worker Classification: We’ll review the legal principles for classifying workers as employees or contractors, the risks associated with misclassification, and steps you can integrate into your onboarding process.
- Job Posting Regulation: We’ll go over Ontario’s new requirements for publicly advertised job postings, including pay transparency and record-keeping requirements.
The forum will be moderated by Matthew Calvin, PROLINK’s Assistant Vice President of Staffing & Risk Management Solutions, as well as our expert partners from ACSESS, the Canadian voice of the recruiting, employment and staffing services industry, and Hicks Morley, a leading labour and employment law firm.
