What counts as a fraudulent posting, how to report one, and what we do about it. Ontario’s Employment Standards Act (s.8.7, in force 1 January 2026) requires job-posting platforms to have this policy and a way to report; it applies on every edition.
1. What a fraudulent posting is
- A job that does not exist, or that the poster has no authority to fill.
- A posting that misstates the employer, the pay, the duties or the location to attract applicants.
- A posting used to collect personal data, money, bank details or identity documents rather than to hire.
- A posting that impersonates a real company or recruiter.
2. How to report
Use Report on any job page and choose “Fraudulent posting”, or go to the report form. You can report without an account. Reports are confidential; we do not tell the poster who reported them.
3. What we do
- We review every report and hide the posting while we check it when the report is credible.
- Confirmed fraudulent postings are removed, the poster’s account is closed, and other members who applied are told.
- We keep a record of each report and our decision for three years.
- Employers who post directly are checked before their posting goes live, and every fetched job is checked for scam signs before it appears.
For review by lawyer: confirm the review deadline, the record-keeping period and the notice to applicants against ESA s.8.7 and O. Reg. 476/24.
