Under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), companies can require an employee to provide proof reasonable in the scenarios that they are entitled to authorized leave under the ESA.

Effective October 28, 2024, companies can not need employees to supply a certificate from a qualified health specialist (a medical note). A “certified health professional” is an individual who is qualified to practice as a physician, registered nurse or psychologist under the laws of the jurisdiction in which care or treatment is supplied to the worker.

ESA optimum fines

A prosecution may be begun under Part III of the Provincial Offences Act where a person is believed to have actually committed an offense under the ESA. If founded guilty, a person could be subject to a fine or a regard to jail time or both.

Since October 28, 2024, the maximum fine for individuals convicted of contravening the ESA has increased to $100,000 (up from $50,000).

- carries out work for a company for salaries
- materials services to a company for earnings
- receives training from an employer, if the ability they're being trained on is an ability used by the employer's employees
