Start 2027 Compliant: The Ontario Employer Risk Checklist

Ontario's employment rules change almost every year, and many of them switch on at a specific headcount. Hire your 20th or 25th employee and new policies, postings and reports can apply, often without anyone noticing. This checklist from Pivotal Integrated HR Solutions shows the minimum your business needs in place at its size. 

You shouldn't learn about a compliance gap from an inspector, a claim or a former employee. The new year is when these rules catch employers out. Ontario counts your headcount on January 1 for the disconnecting from work and electronic monitoring policies, and at 25 or more employees both must be in place by March 1. The AODA compliance report for organizations with 20 or more employees is due December 31, 2026. Pivotal has worked in Canadian HR since 1981. This checklist takes about 15 minutes and ends with a clear grade, so you'll know where you stand. 

What you'll learn:

• Which obligations apply at 6, 10, 20, 25 and 50 employees
• How accessibility, health and safety, and employment standards rules each count your people
• The 25 must-haves across accessibility, health and safety, written policies, pay equity and hiring
• Whether your day-to-day practices hold up, with 11 questions on overtime, vacation, leaves, contracts and terminations 
• Your Risk Score, graded from A to D
