"In the new year, companies have to disclose in publicly advertised job postings whether AI will be used when selecting a candidate and if the position advertised is vacant, according to incoming changes to the Ontario Employment Standards Act. Postings will need to list the salary range for the position with a maximum difference of $50,000 and mention other forms of compensation, including commission and bonuses."
"Andrea Little said she thinks transparency requirements will be helpful for applicants. Having that information up front, it helps me better gauge whether that role's a fit and if it's worth pursuing, she said. But there's debate among experts about whether the transparency laws will change much for job seekers. The new laws also require employers to update applicants on the status of their application within 45 days of their last interview, according to the act."
Ontario will require companies with more than 25 employees to include specific disclosures in public job postings starting Jan. 1, 2026. Employers must state whether AI will be used in candidate selection, confirm if the position is vacant, list a salary range with a maximum spread of $50,000, and describe other compensation such as commission and bonuses. Employers must notify applicants within 45 days of their last interview about application status. Some applicants welcome the increased transparency as helpful for assessing fit. Recruiters caution that posted ranges may not guarantee final pay, and employers could adjust level and compensation during hiring.
