Major changes to Ontario law on job postings coming Jan. 1
Disclosure about use of artificial intelligence in recruiting among new rules
“The Ontario government is introducing new rules for publicly advertised job postings in the new year, but questions remain over whether the changes will result in tangible benefits for jobseekers.
Changes under the Employment Standards Act come into effect on Jan, 1, 2026, and will apply to employers with more than 25 workers.
Among the changes, employers will be required to post information about compensation for any advertised position. If a salary range is posted, it must be within $50,000 a year or less.
Employers will be required to disclose whether artificial intelligence is used during the hiring process.
They’ll also be prohibited from asking for Canadian work experience in any job posting and will be required to inform applicants whether a hiring decision has been made within 45 days of the last interview.”
More information about the changes is available here.
