Most Ontario employers do not find out what employment law requires until they are defending a decision they already made.
People Risk is a plain-language guide for the people who run Ontario's small and mid-sized businesses: the owner who is also the HR department, the operations manager who handles people issues because no one else does, the general manager who knows they should understand this area better than they do.
In ten short chapters, it walks through the decisions that cost Ontario employers the most. The termination clause that no longer holds up. The harassment policy that becomes evidence against you. The accommodation request handled informally and never documented. The contractor who was an employee all along. The discipline file that collapses under scrutiny. The Human Rights Tribunal application that was set in motion months before it arrived.
Each chapter names a problem you will recognize, explains what the law actually requires, and shows what the right approach looks like before the mistake is made. No legalese. No abstract theory. Just the patterns that generate the most preventable litigation in Ontario workplaces.
Written by Scott Tracze, Q.ARB, founder of Aegis 360 HR and a workplace investigator and labour relations advisor with fifteen years of Ontario and federal experience.
