Company Description

5:00 P.m. in the Business’s Office

The Employment Standards Act (ESA) applies to employees.

A worker includes an individual who:

– performs work for a company for salaries

– products services to a company for employment salaries

– gets training from a company, if the skill in which the person is being trained is an ability utilized by the employer’s staff members

– is a homeworker

– was an employee

Effective March 21, 2024, a staff member consists of an individual who carries out work during a trial period for an employer, if the abilities being examined throughout the trial duration are skills utilized by the employer’s staff members or employment might be used by workers if there are no other staff members. For example, where an employer of a dining establishment asks a job candidate to work a trial shift waiting tables to demonstrate their ability to perform the job, even where no employment deal has actually been made to that candidate, the person is a staff member under the ESA.

The ESA does not apply to independent professionals, volunteers or other people who are not covered under the ESA. A specific thought about a staff member might be entitled to rights such as:

– minimum wage

– overtime pay

– public holidays

– trip with pay

– notice of termination or termination pay

Under the ESA, companies are not permitted to treat workers covered by the Act as if they are not employees. If a company misclassifies a staff member in this method, an employment standards officer can release a notification of breach that leads to a charge, a prosecution or both versus the company.

Please note, the ESA supplies minimum requirements only. Some staff members may have greater rights under an employment agreement, cumulative agreement, the typical law or other legislation.

How to tell who is an employee

The relationship between a specific and the organization (or individual) they are working for identifies whether the person is an employee and entitled to defenses under the ESA. A person may be thought about an employee under the ESA when a minimum of a few of the following explains the relationship:

– the work the specific carries out is a crucial part of the organization

– business chooses:- what the person is to do

– how much the person will be paid

– where and when the work is performed

If you’re unsure who is a staff member under the ESA, call the Ministry of Labour, employment Immigration, Training and Employment Standards Information Centre at:

– 416-326-7160

– toll-free at 1-800-531-5551

TTY 1-866-567-8893

The Information Centre can help callers in multiple languages. They can provide general info about who is a worker but can not offer guidance.

If you’re still not sure whether somebody is an employee, employment please talk to an attorney.

How to tell who is an independent contractor

An independent professional is someone who stays in business on their own. A person might be thought about an independent professional, and not covered by the ESA, when at least a few of the following applies:

– the service can end the person’s contract for services, but can not discipline the person

– the individual:- has the chance to earn a profit and has a risk of losing cash from the work

– identifies how, when or where the work is performed

– chooses whether to farm out some of the work

Example

Fariah works as a client service agent for a sales organization. She needs to work Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in business’s workplace. She utilizes the service’s telephones and computer systems. She is paid $25.50 per hour. Her employment contract does not have an end date, although her company can fire or discipline her for bad efficiency. Her employment agreement mentions that she is an independent contractor therefore she does not get overtime pay, employment getaway pay or public vacation pay.

Fariah believes she may actually be an employee and might be entitled to overtime pay, vacation pay and public vacation pay. She sues with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.

An employment standards officer investigates her claim. The officer takes a look at the relationship in between Fariah and the sales organization and finds that she is a worker

It does not matter that Fariah signed the employment contract specifying that she is an independent contractor employment since the truths reveal she is an employee.

The work requirements officer orders the sales business to:

– pay Fariah the overtime pay, trip pay and public holiday pay that she was entitled to as a staff member.

– orders the company to issue wage statements and keep records

Employee or independent specialist: Common mistaken beliefs

An individual might be thought about a worker even if:

– the specific and business concur (orally or in writing) that the person is an independent specialist. It is the relationship between the private and business (or person) that matters, not the label that is provided to it

– the person:- charges the balanced sales tax (HST).

– submits invoices to business.

– utilizes their own vehicle for work purposes.

Volunteers

Volunteers are not employees under the ESA. However, the reality that someone is called a “volunteer” does not figure out whether that individual is a staff member and entitled to the protections of the ESA.

The main aspects that determine whether somebody is a volunteer or an employee are just how much:

– business (or individual) take advantage of the individual’s services.

– the individual views the plan as remaining in pursuit of a living.

In family-run businesses, the question will typically be whether the individual is supplying services in pursuit of a living or in service of the family.

If the person is supplying services to the family, employment rather than services in pursuit of a living, that individual is more likely to be a volunteer.

The fact that no earnings were paid does not always imply that somebody is a volunteer. The truth that there was some type of payment does not always imply someone is a worker. For instance, an honorarium might have been paid, instead of earnings.
