Employment Standards Act claims

Most staff members operating in Ontario are covered by the ESA. However, some workers are not covered by the ESA and some employees who are covered by the ESA have unique guidelines and/or exemptions that may apply to them.

A claim may be made when you believe your company has violated your rights under the ESA.

Examples of ESA violations consist of:

- Failure to pay an employee the proper rate of pay and/or public holiday pay, vacation pay or other incomes they are entitled to under the ESA.
- Not providing a staff member with time off for an entitled leave of absence under the ESA or punishing an employee for taking such a leave.
- Not providing a worker with wage declarations or other needed documents.
For more details, check out Your Guide to the Employment Standards Act or the Guide to unique rules and exemptions.

The ESA is not the only law that applies to Ontario offices. The guidelines under the ESA are minimum requirements. You may have higher rights under:

- an employment agreement
- cumulative arrangement
- the common law
- other legislation
If you have concerns about your entitlements, you may wish to contact a lawyer.

There are time limits that apply to filing an ESA claim. Generally, you must submit a claim within 2 years of the supposed ESA offense. If you file a claim within the two-year limit an employment requirements officer will investigate the claim.
