Ford Government Passes New Workers Act

Bill bans no compete clauses

The Ford government announcing new rules to help ensure employees have a proper work life balance. 

The "Working for Workers Act," requires all Ontario businesses with 25 people or more to have a written policy about employees' rights when it comes to disconnecting from their job at the end of the day.
