Job posting checker

Paste the posting. Pick where it will be seen. Get the flags for Ontario's 2026 job-posting rules, BC and PEI pay transparency, and the EU Pay Transparency Directive — with the wording to fix each one. Nothing leaves your browser.

Where will it be advertised?

Tick every place the job could be filled from — a remote role open to BC residents is a BC posting.

Employees on the day it's posted (Ontario)

Head-count, not full-time equivalents. Part-time and casual each count as one.

Do you use AI to screen, assess, or select applicants?

The Job Posting & Pay Transparency Kit is the templates behind this checker: a posting skeleton per jurisdiction and one combined version that passes all four, the paste-ready lines (compensation, vacancy, AI disclosure, the EU pay block in six languages), Ontario's 45-day notice emails, a record log that computes its own delete-by dates, and a pay-range worksheet with the $50,000 check built in. PDF, DOCX and XLSX. CA$19, one organisation, 14-day refund.
