The “Right to Disconnect” Is Now The Law
How many businesses are aware of Ontario's new "Working for Workers Act" which was assented to December 2nd, 2021?
This new legislation not only directly addresses one of the major causes of job burnout, but also serves to assist employers with managing staff workload outside of the workplace and/or while "off the clock" by providing new mandates as part of a wholistic strategy for facilitating and maintaining employee work/life balance. With it comes the requirement for most companies with 25 employees or more to draft and distribute a "Disconnecting From Work" policy. Obligated organizations had until July 1st, 2022 to draft the new policy, and March 1st thereafter annually for growing businesses whose staff counts hit 25+ at the start of any year.
Specifically, Part VII.0.1, under "Written policy on disconnecting from work" states in 21.1.2 (1):
"An employer that, on January 1 of any year, employs 25 or more employees shall, before March 1 of that year, ensure it has a written policy in place for all employees with respect to disconnecting from work that includes the date the policy was prepared and the date any changes were made to the policy"
The act defines disconnecting from work as "not engaging in work-related communications, including emails, telephone calls, video calls or the sending or reviewing of other messages, so as to be free from the performance of work". Furthermore, the act outlines the requirement to distribute the finished policy to every employee within 30 days of it having been completed, and to ensure that each newly hired employee thereafter receives a copy within the first 30 days of their employment.
Don't let the cutoff date pass you by. Be sure you have your company's Right to Disconnect policy in place in time. Contact us for more information or if you require assistance in successfully -and productively- implementing this new requirement in your workplace.
Working From Home
In combating the spread of COVID-19, strategies such as medical quarantine and self-isolation have created new challenges for employees who now find themselves preforming their jobs remotely. If you are one of the millions of Canadians working from home, make sure you understand your responsibilities for ensuring your at-home work space is safe. There may be a legal requirements that neither you nor your employer have considered that need to be met.
Confused about where COR™ fits in with WSIB’s Health & Safety Excellence and the MLTSD’s Supporting Ontario’s Safe Employers (SOSE) Programs?
While they can compliment each other, they are all separate programs with separate benefits and each with their own requirements. Which is best for your organization? Do you need just the Foundations level of WSIB’s HSE Program, or perhaps both parts of of the Ministry’s SOSE Program to achieve CPO Recognition? Maybe COR™ is enough. Let us help you wade through all the information, including the requirements, benefits, and limitations of each, so that you can make a decision that is right for your organization’s strategic safety needs.
