The amendments will require employers to (a) reimburse reasonable work-related expenses,[2] (b) provide employees with materials regarding employer and employee rights, (c) post these materials in readily accessible places,[3] and (d) provide employees with written statements containing information regarding their employment.[4] The amendments also establish administrative monetary penalties for failures to comply with these new obligations.[5]

That seems like pretty basic stuff.

Hmmm. I wonder what this means for something like a boot allowance? My employer thinks a pair of CSA steel toe boots still costs $100. Any real boots that won’t make your feet bleed after a couple hours will set you back $250+ and when you wear them all day every day for work you’re lucky to get a whole year out of them.

FYI, the date of compliance for the listed items is Oct 7th. If employers have not provided the above to existing employees by that date, they can be fined.
