Ontario Employment Standards Claim — Narrative for MOL Filing
Stage-2 of the Ontario wages chain. Narrative for filing the Employment Standards Claim with the Ministry of Labour (ontario.ca/page/file-employment-standards-claim) after the employer ignored, denied, or partially answered the stage-1 demand. Documents the contraventions of ESA 2000, the employer's response (or reprisal), and requests enforcement (Compliance Order under s.103, 10% admin cost recovery, interest, AMPs under ss.74-74.18, reprisal remedy under s.74). Includes the ESA s.97 election notice. UPL-safe — MOL claims are explicitly self-filed; lawyers and paralegals not required.
