What every agency worker in Ontario is owed.

Assignment info in writing
Before each assignment you must get the client's name and address, your wage, hours, pay period and a description of the work.
You can be hired
An agency cannot stop a client from hiring you, or stop you from accepting a permanent job with them.
Vacation and holiday pay
Assignment workers earn vacation pay and are entitled to public holiday pay, the same as other employees.

For employers
What does "serving now" mean on the map?
Those are the areas we focus on today, near Scarborough. If your area says "Ask us", get in touch anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Who is the employer of the workers?
We are. Punctual Workforce is the legal employer of the people we place, and they are covered by our WSIB account.
How soon can you send someone?
It depends on the role and the area. We will give you an honest answer when we talk, rather than a promise we can't keep.
How is pricing worked out?
An hourly rate based on the role, the shift and how long you need people. We quote it in writing before anyone starts.
Can we hire a worker permanently?
Yes. You can offer anyone we place a permanent job. Any terms are in your agreement up front.
For workers
Do I pay anything?
No. Ontario law does not allow agencies to charge workers fees, and we would not anyway.
What do I need to start?
Proof you can work in Canada and, for most warehouse roles, CSA-approved safety boots.
Do I need experience?
Not for every role. General labour, picking and retail roles are often a good start. Forklift roles need a valid certificate.
Do you have retail jobs?
Yes. We hire retail sales associates, cashiers, stock associates, merchandisers and inventory counters, including seasonal roles.
Can I be hired permanently?
Yes. Many roles are temp-to-hire, and a business can offer you a permanent job at any time.
Talk to the owners.
No call centre. You reach the people who run Punctual Workforce.
