  1. > 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.

    Just to give an example: 75,000-125,000 doesn’t give much clarity over what salary should be expected. Knowing Canadian employers, I’d lean toward the lower number. 

  2. Yeah, BC started to require salaries with job postings a few years ago, but there’s been no enforcement so I haven’t seen much difference. Maybe Ontario’s requirement will actually have teeth. 

  3. A promising step in the right direction

    Super interesting when it said if the company is using AI and the posting is written in the present tense and your application is in the past tense it won’t see it as a match. That’s wild.

    Every company I’ve worked for has such wide pay bands that these guidelines aren’t really going to do much. This is ignoring regional differentials which add to the spread.

  5. 50k pay range is way to much for a salary under 100k. I wish they would just use percentages so this can scale rather than making the law apply to people unequally.

    Ex. 20% for 50k salary would be 50k to 60k

    300k would be 300k to 360k

    This seems more reasonable to me but typing that out makes me think it’s probably intentional.
