Items of interest from the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development and other government agencies

October 20, 2021

The Ministry of Labour periodically sends out a newsletter that contains a variety of information for employers. I have provided the newsletter in this email as well as information from other Ministries and agencies regarding the new online Business Registry as well as mobile vaccine clinics on GO transit routes.

This edition of the newsletter contains three items in particular that may be of interest to you:

  • Launch of Workplace Safety Builder Tool
    • This tool can help you to think through some of the COVID-19 risks in your workplace and choose actions available to make your workplace safer.
  • Extension of the COVID-19 Period to January 1, 2022
    • As I have previously advised, the Ontario government made a regulation that changed certain Employment Standards Act (ESA) rules during the “COVID-19 period.” This regulation has been amended to extend the COVID-19 period to January 1, 2022.

New Business Registry
The new Business Registry which I advised of on September 29 has now been launched. The Registry provides business owners and not-for-profit operators with direct access to government services, available online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 

GO-VAXX mobile vaccine clinics
If you are encouraging your employees to get vaccinated, information about this program may be beneficial. Two GO buses have been converted to serve as mobile vaccine clinics which offer both first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The buses are heated and fully accessible, no appointment is necessary and the schedule is updated weekly.

I hope you find this information helpful.
