Ontario job posting rules in 2026

Since January 1, 2026, Ontario employers with 25 or more employees must include pay or a pay range of no more than $50,000 in publicly advertised postings, say whether the posting is for an existing vacancy, disclose if AI is used to screen, assess or select applicants, and avoid requiring Canadian work experience. They must also tell interviewed applicants the outcome within 45 days. Every job description here includes a builder that adds these for you.
