- distribute to current employees ASAP if not previously distributed or if poster revised.
As of April 3, 2019, employers are no longer required to post the poster in the workplace.
Employers may provide poster as:
- a printed copy
- an email attachment, or
- a link on an internet database, but only if the employer ensures that employee has the ability to access the database and print the poster.
If English is not the majority language of the workplace, then the poster must also be posted in the majority language (if made available by the Minister).
