摘要
In Ontario, as in many other jurisdictions, employment standards enforcement includes reactively investigating employee complaints and, to a lesser extent, proactively inspecting workplaces. Analyses of administrative data from Ontario's Ministry of Labour (MOL) show that the use of complaint data to inform workplace inspections is quite limited. Strict adherence to the MOL's procedures for workplace inspections is not conducive to the investigation of some of the most common empirical complaints. Accordingly, we argue for more strategic enforcement by making greater use of complaint data to guide workplace inspections triggered by complaints and for the increased use of penalties in these inspections. En Ontario, comme dans plusieurs autres provinces, l'application des normes d'emploi comporte la conduite d'enquetes a la suite de plaintes formulees par des employes et, dans une moindre mesure, la realisation proactive d'inspections des lieux de travail. Des analyses des donnees administratives du ministere du Travail de l'Ontario revelent que les donnees relatives aux plaintes sont tres peu utilisees pour etayer les inspections des lieux de travail. Or, le respect strict des procedures du ministere en matiere d'inspection des lieux de travail ne debouche pas sur l'examen de certaines des plaintes factuellement les plus courantes. Les auteures preconisent donc une mise en application plus strategique grace a l'utilisation accrue des donnees relatives aux plaintes pour orienter les inspections des lieux de travail declenchees par les plaintes et au recours plus frequent aux penalites dans le cadre de ces inspections.
