ACSESS Ontario: Bill 148 - ACSESS positioning, key amendments and implications on the staffing industry
ACSESS Event in Toronto, October 10, 2017:
Bill 148 - ACSESS positioning, key amendments and implications on the staffing industry
On August 21, 2017, the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs adopted amendments to Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017 which will be reported back to the Ontario Legislature when it resumes sitting on September 11, 2017. The committee has added a one week qualifier for Personal Emergency Leave paid days entitlement and modest limitations on scheduling provisions.
ACSESS is hosting a follow up information session on Bill 148 - we will provide an overview of the key amendments, ACSESS positioning and what we can expect prior to adoption.
We understand at this time that the Bill may be returned to Committee after it receives Second Reading in the Legislature, so there may be more opportunities for the employer community to express its views to the government in the hopes of changing some of the more far–reaching elements of the Bill.
We will continue to monitor the progress of Bill 148, and will report on any further changes of interest to members.
