Ontario's job-posting rules under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (Part III.1) and O. Reg. 476/24 have applied since 1 January 2026 to employers with 25 or more employees on the day a public posting goes up: expected compensation or a range no wider than $50,000, no Canadian-experience requirements, a statement if artificial intelligence is used to screen or select applicants, a statement whether the posting is for an existing vacancy, a 45-day duty to tell interviewed applicants whether a hiring decision has been made, and three-year record retention.

This add-on gives you two things inside Google Sheets. A sidebar where you paste a posting and get a pass / warn / fix list against those rules, citing the section, with ready-to-paste wording for anything missing. And a one-click hiring-records log: Postings and Interviews sheets whose formulas calculate the range spread, the 45-day inform-by date, overdue status, and both three-year retention dates.

Nothing you paste is sent anywhere: the check runs in the sidebar and only writes to your spreadsheet when you click "Save to log". The add-on asks only for access to the spreadsheet it is open in.
