A reminder that starting January 1, 2026, every Ontario employer will need to follow the new Pay Transparency requirements under the Employment Standards Act (ESA).
If you post jobs online — this affects you.
Here’s what will now be mandatory on job postings:
Salary disclosure: Every posting must include compensation details. If you list a range, it can’t exceed $50,000 (e.g., $100K–$150K)
No more “Canadian experience required.” That language is officially off-limits.
AI disclosure: If artificial intelligence is used to screen or assess applicants, it must be stated in the job posting.
Existing position statement: Employers must disclose whether the posting is for an existing vacancy.
Post-interview communication: Within 45 days of the final interview, candidates must be informed whether a hiring decision has been made.
Transparency isn’t just encouraged anymore — it’s law.
Make sure your hiring process is updated before January 1, 2026.
