How to notify employees of a certification application — and autofill 016-c-2 with my-id.ca
Give employee notice of certification application without retyping union details
Trade unions and applicants in Ontario labour relations proceedings giving notice to employees of a certification application repeat applicant name, employer particulars, contact information, and application details on every notice package. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Ontario Labour Relations Board — forms by number (olrb.gov.on.ca)
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Notice to Employees of Application for Certification — 016-c-2
What this form is about
Form 016-c-2 is the Notice to Employees of Application for Certification before the OLRB — confirm notice rules on olrb.gov.on.ca.
Before you start: what to gather
