IWC Submission to Temporary Help Agency Consultation

January 28, 2021 by IWC Community Legal Clinic

Temp agency workers do the most dangerous work with the least protection and with lower wages and benefits. IWC urges the government to make client companies of temp help agencies rather than the agencies themselves liable for WSIB premiums based on injuries, accidents and deaths of their temp agency workers. As it stands claims costs metrics create a strong financial incentive for employers to contract out their more dangerous work. IWC also endorses recommendations in the joint submission of the Parkdale Community Legal Services (PCLS), Workers’ Action Centre (WAC) and Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC) to the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development’s Temporary Help Agency consultations
