REGULATIONS

'Regulations' are a feature of statute law-making - most statutes (aka 'Acts') have them. Lawyers speak of 'statutes' (made by the legislature) being the primary form of law, and then regulations being a lesser form. Regulations are a common form of 'delegated legislation' [see that topic], created where the Ontario legislature delegates (typically to the Lieutenant-Governor in Council - ie. the Ontario 'cabinet') such authority expressly within a parent statute [here, the Employment Standards Act (ESA)]. Typically, the textual content of regulations are details more minor and frequently changed than would be convenient with statutes.

For general information, regulation-authority can be delegated to other entities (Ministers, government bodies - anyone for that matter) as long as it is done expressly in a statute. Further, delegated legislation can be made by other means of other 'statutory instruments' than regulations (eg. Rules, Orders, Notices, By-laws, Lists, Guidelines, etc).

In this Isthatlegal Employment topic, specific ESA regulations (there are over 20) are topically-located by alphabet. In contrast, the statutes addressed here [under 'Regulations'] are regulation-authorizing ESA (and thus statutory) provisions.

REVIEWS (OLRB)

Although the terms 'Review' is used both here and in the legislation, most people think of them as OLRB appeals (where 'OLRB' is an acronym for the Ontario Labour Relations Board, an administrative tribunal). The review-'route' (ie. which review procedure to follow) for any given proceeding can be confusing because the ESA has several different forms of orders (eg. to pay wages, compensation, etc), which in turn flow into different review 'streams' - which streams are defined by different procedural rules. I attempt to clarify these review-routes in the below notes.


Reviews of ESO Orders and Refusals by OLRB

Employment Cases - ESA s.116 Reviews

General Reviews of ESO Orders by OLRB [s.116(1)]

ESA s.116(1) General Reviews of ESO Orders by OLRB

Employee Reviews of ESO Orders by OLRB [s.116(2)]

ESA s.116(2) Employee Reviews of ESO Orders by OLRB

Section 116(2) employeer reviews can be initiated regarding:

ESA s.116(4-5) Time Limits for s.116(1-3) ESO Reviews; Extension

Procedural Rules

Authority to Makes Procedural Rules

ESA s.118(1-5) Chair of OLRB May Make Review Rules (only applied re s.116 Reviews)
Note: In an apparent anomaly, most of the Rule authority of s.118 [part of s.118(2) is an exception] appears to extend well beyond the authority to make rules regarding ESA reviews, and generally into other OLRB activities - even non-ESA ones. That said, as best I can determine this apparent anomaly is practically limited by the OLRB chair only using this broad authority to make ESA s.116 review rules.
ESA s.119(1-14) s.116 Review Powers of the OLRB

Main Procedural Review Rules
ESA s.116(6,8) Hearing Required for ESO Reviews
ESA s.116(7) Parties to ESO Reviews
ESA s.116(9) ESO Reviews - Control of Process
ESA s.120(1-6) Settlement of Review Issue with LRO

ESA s.123(1-2) Evidence of Reviews


Review of Notices of Contravention
ESA s.122(1-7) Review of Notice of Contravention


Benefit Issue Referrals to OLRB

These benefit 'referrals' are not reviews as-such, but their procedures is so similar to that of reviews that they are included here.

ESA s.121(1-4) Referrals to OLRB re Benefits

ESA s.115.1 Definition ["employee" expanded]
Where Trust Money Held by Director During OLRB Review
