Saskatchewan employers may soon face new HR and compliance obligations as the provincial government reviews updates to employment standards and workplace safety regulations.

While final details haven’t been confirmed, early indicators suggest potential changes in the following areas:

• Workplace Harassment & Violence Prevention: Stronger requirements for formal policies, investigation processes, and employee training.

• Job Posting Transparency: Possible mandates around disclosing salary ranges and contract details in public postings.

• Recordkeeping & Documentation: Enhanced expectations around maintaining employee records, especially for hours worked, breaks, and leave.

• Safety Policy Updates: New obligations for updating or filing Health & Safety Plans, including emergency preparedness protocols.
  
  

Why This Matters

Non-compliance doesn’t just risk fines—it damages trust, morale, and employer brand. And if you’re a dealership, many of your processes are already stretched thin. Staying ahead of policy shifts is one of the smartest ways to protect your margins and reduce liability.

What Should You Do Right Now?

🔹Audit your current policies: Especially those related to health, safety, and harassment.
🔹Ensure documentation is centralized: Digital recordkeeping reduces your audit risk.
🔹Review your HR software and reporting: Can you easily produce the reports regulators ask for?
🔹Start planning for training: If requirements expand, so will your obligation to educate staff and managers.
