Ontario’s agency licensing regime: what a client should verify before signing

Licensing moved the burden of checking an agency’s standing partly onto the client. Here is what to confirm.

Canadian Bridge Talent

Beginning on July 1, 2024, temporary help agencies and recruiters must be licensed to operate in Ontario under the Employment Standards Act, 2000. The change was introduced through the Working for Workers Act and applies to every agency that places assignment employees with clients in the province.

The rule does not stop at the agency. Clients are prohibited from knowingly engaging or using the services of a temporary help agency unless it holds a licence. Violations of the licensing provisions can lead to enforcement action, including compliance orders, monetary penalties and prosecution.

Each licensed agency must post $25,000 in security with the Province, by irrevocable letter of credit or surety bond.

What the licence involves

To be licensed, an agency files an application with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development and provides the $25,000 security. As of January 1, 2026, a licence generally expires two years after the date it was issued or renewed, so a licence that was valid when a contract was signed may need to be re-checked during a long engagement.

A short checklist for clients

Ask for the agency’s licence number and confirm its status on the Ministry’s public registry of applicants and licensees.
Check that the legal entity named in your agreement is the entity that holds the licence.
Diarise the renewal date and re-check the registry before it passes.
Keep a record of the check alongside the agreement.

Canadian Bridge Talent operates under Ontario licence THA-0000017058, which appears on every client agreement.

October 1, 2026: the general minimum wage rises to $17.95

A 1.9% adjustment tied to inflation, and a public holiday eleven days later.

Canadian Bridge Talent

Ontario announced on April 1, 2026 that its minimum wage rates will increase on October 1, 2026. The adjustment reflects the 1.9% increase in the Ontario Consumer Price Index, in line with the province’s practice of indexing minimum wage to inflation.

Rate	Until Sept 30	From Oct 1, 2026
General minimum wage	$17.60	$17.95
Student minimum wage	$16.60	$16.90
Homeworkers	$19.35	$19.70

What it means for bill rates

Where an assignment is paid at or near the minimum, the wage component of the hourly bill rate rises on October 1, along with the statutory costs calculated on it, such as vacation pay and employer contributions. Rates set comfortably above the minimum are not directly affected, though many employers review their entry-level rates at the same time to keep a margin above the floor.

A public holiday in the same pay cycle

Thanksgiving falls on Monday, October 12, 2026. Assignment employees are entitled to public holiday pay, which under the ESA is calculated from regular wages earned and vacation pay payable in the four work weeks before the holiday, divided by 20. For the first holiday after the increase, that calculation still draws mostly on pre-increase wages.

Using an agency does not transfer every obligation

The agency is the employer of record, but the ESA leaves clients with real exposure if wages go unpaid.

Canadian Bridge Talent

When a business brings in workers through a temporary help agency, the agency is the employer for payroll, deductions and most statutory purposes. That does not mean the client carries no risk.

Joint liability for unpaid wages

Under the Employment Standards Act, 2000, a client is jointly and severally liable with the agency when an assignment employee has done work for the client and the agency fails to pay. The liability covers unpaid regular wages, overtime pay, public holiday pay and public holiday premium pay. Where an employee worked for several clients in a pay period, each client’s share is proportional to the hours worked for it.

The practical safeguard is the agency’s own standing: its licence, its WSIB account and its record of paying on time.

Conversion fees: the six-month window

An agency may charge a client a fee for hiring an assignment employee directly only within the six months that begin on the employee’s first day working for that client through the agency. No fee is permitted at all if the hire happens after the agency’s licence has been refused, revoked, suspended or cancelled.

Other rules worth knowing

Agencies may not charge assignment employees any fee for becoming an employee, obtaining assignments, or help with resumes and interviews.
Where an assignment with an estimated term of three months or more ends early, the agency must give one week’s written notice, termination-of-assignment pay, or a combination of the two.
Assignment employees are entitled to public holiday pay.

Reducing exposure

Confirm the agency’s licence on the public registry.
Request a current WSIB clearance certificate.
Set conversion terms in writing at the start of the engagement.
