Ontario's Ministry of Labour announced that businessman Anchuan Jiang and his private school faced a hefty $410,000 in fines due to wage compliance issues. Jiang previously failed to pay nearly $185,000 owed to 14 employees and has a history of similar violations with past company Norstar Times. Despite numerous legal actions and a reported total of overdue fines and wages amounting to over $1.6 million, Jiang continues to operate without accountability, prompting calls from employment lawyers for stricter enforcement measures to protect vulnerable workers.
Ontario's enforcement system regarding wage theft is failing, as exemplified by a Toronto businessman who continues to owe significant fines and wages despite prior convictions.
Lawyers advocate for new enforcement tools to tackle wage theft, like those seen in other regions, given that existing measures are insufficient in deterring non-compliance.
