At Manco HR, we understand that trust begins with compliance — especially in temporary staffing. Whether you’re hiring for a warehouse, a construction project, or a logistics operation, ensuring every worker is properly covered under Ontario’s labour laws is non-negotiable. That’s why we’ve built compliance into every step of our staffing process.

Here’s how we help protect your business — and your people.

1. ESA Compliance — Every Detail Covered

The Employment Standards Act (ESA) sets the rules for working conditions in Ontario, including those for temporary workers. We ensure:

Accurate tracking of hours, pay, and vacation entitlements
Proper application of overtime rules and public holiday pay
Equal pay for equal work, where applicable

From forklift operators to general labourers, we apply the same diligence to every worker’s rights.

2. Health & Safety Under OHSA

Under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), both the agency and the client share responsibility for workplace safety. We:

Pre-screen workplaces to confirm safety standards
Provide health and safety awareness training
Educate workers on their rights and reporting procedures

💡 Did you know? If a temp worker is injured on-site, both the host employer and the agency could be liable. We make sure you’re prepared and protected.

3. Proper WSIB Coverage

We manage WSIB registrations and ensure every placement has the right coverage — including classifications that may require clearance certificates. This safeguards your operation and gives you peace of mind.

4. Clear Contracts & Documentation

No ambiguity. Every engagement includes a detailed Service Level Agreement (SLA) outlining:

Markups and pay structures
Legal responsibilities
Termination clauses
Worker entitlements

Transparent agreements protect both parties and eliminate guesswork.

5. Continuous Legal Updates

Ontario’s labour laws evolve — and we evolve with them. Our team stays current with:

ESA amendments
Temporary help agency licensing requirements
WSIB policy updates

We also consult regularly with legal and HR compliance experts, so your operations remain compliant and risk-free.

Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

In today’s regulatory environment, cutting corners isn’t worth the risk. By partnering with a compliant, licensed staffing agency like Manco HR, you don’t just meet standards — you set them.
