Terms of Use - Employers
User registration
The following Terms of Use and Privacy Statement outline the rules for using Job Bank. Once you have agreed to them, you will need to continue following the Terms of Use every time you sign in. If there are any changes to these Terms, you will be asked to reaccept the new version.
By using Job Bank, you agree the personal information you submit is your own, and that it is true, accurate and current. You also agree that you will be the only user of this account and that you will not share your sign in information, including password and security question answers, with anyone.
Representatives of Job Bank and its partners may contact you to confirm information or to request additional documents. Job Bank may send emails to inform you of any changes that may affect your use of its services.
Eligibility
To be able to access and use Job Bank for Employers, you must be a Canadian citizen, a temporary resident or a permanent resident. To show that you are eligible, you must provide your valid Social Insurance Number (SIN).
Registering a business
Job Bank only accepts job postings from employers that are registered with the Canada Revenue Agency with an open payroll account. Job Bank may use data provided by other federal government departments, including the CRA, to confirm the information you submit. Job Bank may also verify if an employer has a registered Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) account.
If you are representing the business as a consultant, lawyer or friend, you must obtain permission from the employer. You must indicate your relationship to the business and the name and phone number of the person giving you permission to post for them. Job Bank may contact them directly to confirm that you are an authorized representative.
Details
All users are responsible for their actions on a file. Any individual user, regardless of their type of access or relationship with the business, can be associated with a maximum of 200 employer files at the same time.
The primary user listed on an employer file may authorize access to other Job Bank users who have a user account by allowing them to become users of the employer file. Each authorized user of an employer file must respect and adhere to Job Bank’s Terms of Use.
A user attempting to create an employer file understands and agrees that their email address and name will be sent by email to the primary officer of an employer file if the payroll account number provided has already been registered in the system.
Job Bank reserves the right to remove or modify access to an employer file at any time without contacting the primary user of the employer file. If you no longer require access to the employer file, please contact Job Bank.
Job Bank may undertake additional verification procedures, including, but not limited to, contacting third parties to confirm information submitted.
Posting jobs
Job postings can be advertised on Job Bank for 30 calendar days at a time. It is up to you to extend the job posting if the position is still vacant. Job Bank may limit the advertisement duration of job postings. Job Bank may share your job posting with other job boards.
Job Bank will not advertise job postings that don’t comply with employment standards and human rights laws. Job Bank will also decline or suspend any job posting it deems to be offensive, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate.
