Ontario Employee Policy Manual

The Ontario Employee Policy Manual is a customizable, review-ready HR policy document informed by the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and the broader Ontario workplace-law framework. Depending on the employer profile and source-verified applicability rules, it addresses hours of work, overtime, holidays, vacation, statutory leaves, termination, workplace harassment and violence, accommodation, accessibility, and occupational health and safety.

Ontario also enforces the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Human Rights Code, and the Working for Workers series of amendments covering electronic monitoring, disconnecting from work, and restrictive covenants.
