Helping employees help themselves
Do you have a problem with your current or former employer relating to unpaid wages, vacation pay, public holiday pay, overtime, minimum wage, termination or severance pay?
The Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA) contains rules about what most employees are entitled to be paid. Most employers in Ontario must follow these rules.
This Self Help Kit is provided by the Ministry of Labour to help you to resolve these problems on your own without having to file a claim. It will help you to figure out how much money you may be owed.
Using this Self Help Kit is NOT the same as filing a claim with the Ministry of Labour to have the matter investigated. For more information about filing a claim, call the Employment Standards Information Centre at 1-800-531-5551 or visit the Ministry of Labour website at www.labour.gov.on.ca.
If you have a problem with your employer relating to pay, we encourage you to try the Self Help Kit as your first step toward getting back any money your employer may owe you.
Using this Self Help Kit may provide a much faster result!
