Good to know
- Under Ontario's Employment Standards Act, 2000, an employer with 25 or more employees on January 1 must have a written policy on disconnecting from work (Part VII.0.1) and a written electronic monitoring policy (Part XI.1) by March 1 of that year.
- Give a copy to every employee within 30 days of preparing or changing the policy, and to each new employee within 30 days of hire. Keep a copy for 3 years after the policy stops being in effect.
- The monitoring policy does not give you new rights to monitor. Privacy law and the ESA still apply, and you may not punish an employee for asking about their ESA rights.
