Ontario nonprofits are facing one of the most significant shifts in employment and workplace compliance in years.
As of January 1, 2026, new Employment Standards Act (ESA) rules, stronger Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) enforcement, and increased WSIB penalties are now fully in effect. These changes apply equally to nonprofits, regardless of charitable status or budget size.
Non-compliance is no longer just an operational issue. It can impact funding, reputation, staff trust, and board oversight.
To help Ontario nonprofits stay ahead, we’ve created a FREE Nonprofit HR Compliance Bundle 2026, designed specifically for Ontario nonprofit employers.
