We comply with Ontario’s employment standards and transparency rules when posting and hiring for contractor roles.
Our hiring process includes sharing the expected pay rate or range, and we do not require Canadian work experience, although applicants must hold current registration in good standing with the appropriate Ontario regulatory college (such as the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario).
If we use any artificial intelligence (AI) tools as part of screening or hiring, we will clearly disclose this.
Job postings specify whether the role is for a current opening or a future opportunity, and anyone interviewed will receive an update about the outcome within 45 days of their last interview.
Before any contractor begins work, we provide a written summary of key details, including our legal and operating name, a main contact, where the work will be performed, starting pay and pay periods, and a general outline of initial hours of work.
We also keep copies of postings, applications, and interview communications for three years, as required by law.
Because Ontario law closely examines whether someone is truly an independent contractor, our agreements clearly outline the terms of the relationship and confirm the contractor’s independence, while ensuring pay and working conditions meet or exceed legal standards (including minimum wage for active work time, where applicable).
Before you start, we’ll provide everything you need to feel confident stepping into your new role, including a written summary of pay, pay periods, hours, work location, and your key contacts at the practice.
If you’re looking for a flexible, team-oriented environment where your expertise is respected, we’d love to hear from you.
