@avidamoeba @ontario Similar legislation already existed under the previous Ontario govt.
Ford scrapped it when he assumed office in 2019.

Just as important as disclosing a wage is disclosing the amount of hours expected. A friend recently applied to nearly 800 jobs and noticed the descriptor 'part time' meaning anything from 10 - 35 hours a week. A couple they got response from was less than ten hours.

Job descriptions should be required to have accurate information - if for nothing else than to save both sides engaging in a fruitless correspondence or meeting.

As long as they do it right. Here in California the wage ranges end up being a factor of 2 between the min and max for many jobs and are totally useless.
