Respecting Workers in Health Care and in Related Fields Act, 2023
  • This bill, called the Respecting Workers in Health Care and in Related Fields Act, 2023, aims to improve the working conditions of health care workers and workers in related fields. It includes measures such as ensuring that a certain percentage of employees in hospitals, long-term care homes, home care agencies, and health care providers are employed on a permanent and full-time basis. It also proposes that personal support workers receive higher pay, paid leave for personal illness or emergencies, and access to health benefits and pension plans. Similarly, homemakers would be entitled to at least the minimum wage and would have certain employment standards applied to them. The Act will come into effect one year after it receives Royal Assent.
