Find out if laws about hours of work apply to you

Ontario's (ESA) has minimum standards that employers must follow, including rules about hours of work.

But not all jobs are covered by the ESA. And in some cases, only parts of the ESA apply.

Read the Ministry of Labour's Industries and Jobs with Exemptions or Special Rules to find out if your job is covered by the ESA and which parts of the ESA apply.

You can also call the Ministry's Employment Standards Information Centre at 1-800-531-5551, 416-326-7160, or 1-866-567-8893 (TTY).
