"David Piccini states, 'No one should have to pay out of pocket for a uniform just to earn a paycheque.' This reflects the government's commitment to addressing financial burdens on workers."
"The proposed ban targets uniforms that are mandatory and employer-specific, particularly those that include a logo and are not reasonably usable outside of work."
"Consultations on the rule change will consider the impact on small businesses, ensuring that the new regulations are fair and manageable for all employers."
"The government is also looking to implement new rules for talent agencies, which would include setting limits on commission rates and ensuring timely payments to entertainment workers."
Ontario's labour minister, David Piccini, proposes a ban on employers requiring employees to pay for uniforms. This change aims to alleviate financial burdens on workers in entry-level sectors like retail and hospitality, where uniform costs can exceed $50. The ban would specifically target mandatory, employer-specific uniforms that are not suitable for use outside of work. Consultations will consider exemptions for small businesses. Additionally, new regulations for talent agencies are proposed, including limits on commission rates and ensuring timely payments to entertainment workers.
