Ontario HR Compliance Checklists
Eight interactive checklists covering the most common compliance gaps Ontario employers face. Each item is tied to the specific Ontario legislation that requires it. Free to use -- no sign-up required.
Employment Standards (ESA)
Hours of work, overtime, vacation, public holidays, leaves, and termination notice minimums. Most employers have at least one ESA gap.
Workplace Health and Safety (OHSA)
Required postings, programs, JHSC obligations, and Bill 168 harassment and violence prevention requirements.
Human Rights and Accommodation (OHRC)
Protected grounds, accommodation process, documentation requirements, and undue hardship analysis.
Accessibility (AODA)
Customer service, employment, and information and communication standards. Includes accessibility plan and training requirements.
Workplace Investigation Readiness
12 things Ontario employers need in place before -- or immediately after -- a harassment complaint arrives.
Discipline and Documentation
Is your discipline file built to support termination for cause? Covers each stage of progressive discipline.
Termination Risk Assessment
Pre-termination assessment covering just cause, ESA minimums, common law exposure, and documentation requirements.
WSIB and Return to Work
WSIB reporting obligations, Form 7 requirements, modified duties, and re-employment obligations under the WSIA.
All 8 checklists in one interactive tool
Work through any checklist at your own pace. Items are marked Yes, No, N/A, or In Progress. High, medium, and low risk gaps are tracked automatically as you go.
Collective Bargaining Cost Calculator
Model the true cost of a collective agreement over a 1-3 year term. Compound wage increases, CPP, EI, WSIB premiums, vacation pay, and benefit changes. Built for Ontario employers heading into negotiations.
What to do with your results
A checklist tells you where the gaps are. It does not tell you which ones create immediate legal exposure, which can wait, or what closing them actually requires. That is the conversation Scott Tracze has with employers after they work through these checklists.
If you find High risk items -- especially under OHSA or the OHRC -- those warrant immediate attention. Ministry of Labour inspections and HRTO applications rarely announce themselves in advance.
