Document Summary
The employment standards act, 2000 (esa) provides the minimum standards for most employees working in ontario. It sets out the rights and responsibilities of employees and employers in most ontario workplaces. This guide should not be used as or considered legal advice. You may have greater rights under an employment contract, collective agreement, the common law or other legislation. If you"re unsure about anything in this guide, please talk to a lawyer. This guide is a convenient source of information about key sections of the esa. It is for your information and assistance only. If you need details or exact language, please refer to the esa itself and the regulations. If a provision in an agreement gives an employee a greater right or benefit than a minimum employment standard under the esa then that provision applies to the employee instead of the employment standard.
