On November 7, 2019, Bill 124: Protecting a Sustainable Public Sector for Future Generations Act, 2019, the Ontario government passed legislation to implement moderation measures in respect of compensation in Ontario’s public sector to curb compensation increases over a three (3) year period. The Act provides for a three (3) year window of salary moderation (a “moderation period”) and compensation restraint. Further information on the defined moderation periods applicable to each group of employees at the University of Guelph may be found in the Bill 124 Moderation Period Effective Dates memo.
