ACSESS members strive not only strive to meet all legal requirements that apply to their operations, including those under provincial Employment Standards Acts, but they regularly exceed their legal obligations. As part of its mandate, ACSESS has long supported and advocated for initiatives to ensure that all staffing firms comply with their legal obligations. This creates a level playing field for ACSESS member agencies and results in a fairer industry for THAs, their clients and assignment employees alike.
Consistent with this longstanding position, ACSESS supports the creation of a registry or licensing regime for staffing firms, provided that the government is committed to investing the resources needed to ensure that any such registry or regime is meaningful and effective in achieving its goals, which must include holding accountable unethical and illegal staffing firms that tarnish the reputation of the entire industry.
