Having a good understanding of Ontario workplace legislation is important for every manager, in every industry.

Manage Your People
Once you’ve hired new staff, the next step is to prepare them for what’s to come and to give them an understanding of how things work in your organization. Preparing an employee handbook that documents everything such as your dress code, code of conduct, benefits and payday – will go a long way into making sure your new employee feels prepared and ready to perform their job well.
