The Employment Standards Act (ESA) applies to employees.

A worker includes an individual who:

– performs work for a company for incomes

– products services to a company for employment earnings

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

– is a homeworker

– was a worker

Effective March 21, 2024, a staff member includes a person who performs work during a trial period for an employer, if the skills being assessed throughout the trial duration are abilities used by the employer’s employees or could be used by staff members if there are no other staff members. For example, where a company of a dining establishment asks a task prospect to work a trial shift waiting tables to demonstrate their capability to carry out the job, even where no work offer 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 considered an employee may be entitled to rights such as:

– base pay

– overtime pay

– public holidays

– holiday with pay

– notice of termination or termination pay

Under the ESA, companies are not allowed to treat employees covered by the Act as if they are not employees. If an employer misclassifies an employee in this way, a work standards officer can release a notification of contravention that results in a charge, a prosecution or both versus the employer.

Please note, the ESA supplies minimum requirements just. Some employees might have greater rights under an employment contract, cumulative contract, the typical law or other legislation.

How to tell who is an employee

The relationship in between a private and business (or person) they are working for figures out whether the individual is a staff member and entitled to protections under the ESA. A person might be thought about an employee under the ESA when a minimum of some of the following describes the relationship:

– the work the individual performs is a fundamental part of the organization

– business decides:- what the person is to do

– how much the individual will be paid

– where and when the work is performed

If you’re not sure who is a worker under the ESA, call the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s 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 numerous languages. They can provide basic information about who is a worker however can not offer suggestions.

If you’re still uncertain whether somebody is an employee, please speak to a lawyer.

How to inform who is an independent professional

An independent contractor is someone who stays in business for themselves. An individual may be thought about an independent contractor, and not covered by the ESA, when a minimum of a few of the following applies:

– the organization can end the individual’s contract for services, but can not discipline the individual

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

– figures out how, when or where the work is carried out

– decides whether to farm out a few of the work

Example

Fariah works as a customer care representative for a . She must work Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in business’s workplace. She utilizes the company’s telephones and computers. She is paid $25.50 per hour. Her employment agreement does not have an end date, although her company can fire or discipline her for bad performance. Her employment contract mentions that she is an independent specialist and so she does not receive overtime pay, employment vacation pay or public vacation pay.

Fariah believes she might really be an employee and may be entitled to overtime pay, getaway pay and public vacation pay. She files a claim with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.

A work requirements officer examines her claim. The officer takes a look at the relationship between Fariah and the sales service and finds that she is a worker

It does not matter that Fariah signed the employment agreement stating that she is an independent specialist because the realities reveal she is a worker.

The work standards officer orders the sales service to:

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

– orders the company to provide wage statements and keep records

Employee or independent professional: Common mistaken beliefs

A person might be considered a staff member even if:

– the specific and business concur (orally or in composing) that the person is an independent contractor. It is the relationship in between the individual and business (or employment individual) that matters, not the label that is provided to it

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

– submits billings to business.

– utilizes their own vehicle for employment work functions.

Volunteers

Volunteers are not staff members under the ESA. However, the fact that somebody is called a “volunteer” does not identify whether that person is a staff member and entitled to the defenses of the ESA.

The main elements that figure out whether someone is a volunteer or an employee are how much:

– the company (or individual) advantages from the person’s services.

– the individual views the arrangement as being in pursuit of a living.

In family-run services, the concern will often be whether the person is supplying services in pursuit of a living or employment in service of the family.

If the person is providing services to the family, instead of services in pursuit of a living, that individual is more likely to be a volunteer.

The reality that no incomes were paid does not always imply that someone is a volunteer. The reality that there was some kind of payment does not always indicate someone is an employee. For instance, an honorarium might have been paid, rather than incomes.
