The Ontario government is proposing an update to employment laws that would entitle remote employees to termination notice.

The Ontario government is proposing an update to employment laws that would entitle remote employees to termination notices.

“Whether you commute to work every day or not shouldn’t determine what you are owed. No billion-dollar company should be treating their remote employees as second-class,” Ontario Minister of Labour Monte McNaughton said in a statement on Monday. When it comes to mass termination, remote workers are not protected because they are not recognized in Ontario’s current labour laws.

If passed, the new law would address and close this existing gap by granting remote workers the same protections as in-office workers in the event of wide-sweeping terminations.

Excellent, WFH was not supposed to turn employees into contractors. If you're WFH and a full time employee, you should be, legally, no different than an in office worker. Sounds ridiculous to me. If you get fired or laid off the company should not be responsible paying you for 2 months. How many Ontarians have been terminated from their WFH employment positions without notice or compensation during the past 3 years? This is *the* question that no one at CTV appears interested in asking.
