Your Situation
Tell us about the underpayment. Ontario's ESA 2000 applies to provincially-regulated employees only. If you work in a federally-regulated industry (bank, telecom, airline, interprovincial trucking, federal Crown corporation), you're covered by the Canada Labour Code Part III — different forum.
This letter will cite
Employment Standards Act 2000 (Ontario) ss.11 (wages on pay day), 12 (statement of wages), 13 (deductions), 22-32 (overtime + public holidays), 33-41 (vacation), 57-61 (termination notice), 63-65 (severance), 74 (reprisals), 96 (claim filing), 103-106 (Employment Standards Officer orders), 111 (2-year limitation)
Your letter sets out the underpayment with reference to ESA, gives the employer 14 days to pay, and signals referral to the Ministry of Labour's Employment Standards Branch.
ESA 2000 covers provincial employers. Federal employers fall under the Canada Labour Code Part III — wrong forum. If unsure, search the employer name + 'federally regulated'.
