Digital Platform Workers’ Rights Act will come into force July 1, 2025

The Digital Platform Workers’ Rights Act, 2022 will come into force on July 1, 2025, and will apply to digital platform workers and operators in Ontario, regardless of their employment status under the Employment Standards Act. The Act establishes a range of obligations for operators and guarantees new rights for workers who perform digital platform work, such as ridesharing or delivery services offered through online platforms. Although the Act does not apply to all employers, lawyers should familiarize themselves with its provisions to effectively advise clients — whether operators or workers — on their rights and obligations under the new legal framework.
