We had some work done for our house and one of the employees let it slip (in front of the employer) that they were skipping (highschool) to come to work. What is the best approach? (lemmy.world)

We read the Ontario laws and it said that employers should not have kids working during school hours unless they were doing alternate schooling.

I don’t believe this kid is doing alternate school because the kid said “I can’t work tomorrow because my teacher’s coming to check in on me”.

Do we ask the employer if they know they are employing a teenager who’s skipping school? Do we leave a review?

Obviously we don’t want to tarnish anyone’s reputation unnecessarily but this is a very serious matter.

I would slip a word anonymously to your labour board, but I'm just another moron on the internet.

I think the right thing to do would be to not get involved directly with this as it could affect your relationship with the company as a client, but it is a relatively serious labour offense IMO.
