** We wish you a prosperous and successful 2007 ** Reference Verification - The Overlooked Step in the Recruitment Process, The ramifications of hiring someone who has lied on their resume can be severe. Depending on the position, there can physical, psychological and financial consequences to an unsuitable hire. We assume that our surgeons, nurses and teachers have all the appropriate credentials. There have been numerous high profile reports of doctors, heads of organizations and people in government who do not have the experience and the credentials that they say they have. Some have had catastrophic consequences, some have not, but in each and every case people shake their heads and say, “Why didn’t any one check?” ** To view other employer articles please Click

No More Mandatory Retirement The Human Rights Code reflects that, “it is public policy in Ontario to recognize the dignity and worth of every person and to provide for equal rights and opportunities without discrimination.” The main objective of the Code is “the creation of a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and worth of each person so that each person feels a part of the community and able to contribute fully to the development and well-being of the community and the Province.” Anyone over the age of 18 years is protected under the Code against discrimination in employment because of age. Ontario employers are required by law not to make employment decisions such as selection, recruiting, hiring, promotion, training or termination on the basis of age. The Ontario Human Rights Commission administers the Code. The functions
of the Commission are to promote and advance respect for human rights
in Ontario and to identify and promote the elimination of systemic
discriminatory practices that infringe rights under the Code. Persons 65 years and older who believe that they have been subjected to differential treatment because of age (directly, indirectly, constructively or systemically) through mandatory retirement policies may file a complaint on the basis of age under the Code. Employers need to know that they can have retirement programs based on a certain age, as a bona fide occupational requirement despite the end of mandatory retirement, as long as such programs are voluntary.
