New legislation requiring employers to post salary information on job advertisements is intended to make hiring fairer and more transparent for workers, but University of Guelph professor Nita Chhinzer says the changes could also create unintended barriers for marginalized job seekers and challenges for small businesses.
Under Ontario’s Working for Workers Act, which came into effect January 1, employers must now disclose expected compensation on publicly advertised job postings.
The law also requires salaries to be listed within a $50,000 range and to include details on bonuses, commissions, or other allowances where applicable.
