It’s no surprise that Ontario businesses are partnering with staffing agencies more and more, especially since temporary agencies offer great staffing solutions to help your business succeed.
Need more staff by this Friday? No problem! Simply contact your local staffing agency and you’ll have workers at your facility in no time.
The problem is that there are non-reputable staffing agencies that are currently operating illegally in Ontario. Unfortunately, these agencies pay employees under minimum wage, pay cash to their employees (which means that their employees don’t work under their SIN), and they deny their employees basic employment rights.
To stop these non-reputable agencies from operating, as of July 1, 2024, the Ontario Ministry of Labour, under the Employment Standards Act, has established that temporary help agencies (also known as temporary staffing agencies) are required to hold a license in order to legally operate.
Liberty Staffing has successfully completed, and has been awarded, a temporary help agency license by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development as of July 2024.
Here’s more information about our staffing agency, and how we are a fully licensed, legal, and reputable temporary help agency in Ontario.

Be Wary of Unlicensed Agencies
If you’re considering partnering with an agency that doesn’t have a license, or pays their employees cash etc., please be wary. You may think that you’ll be saving your company money, but in reality, you’ll be putting the company at risk and the temporary staff members at risk. Your company will be heavily fined for partnering with an unlicensed agency.
