In the year 2021 BCEST 48, a guy established a non-authorized staffing agency. The expansion of the company warranted approval from the ESA. Fined $500.

Because they only had one customer, the agency argued that they didn't need a license and hence their penalty appeal should not have been dismissed. The company's policy is to not reconsider customer requests. At least one patron did not ask for expansion. Certifications are useful for both workers and employers (per the Employment Standards Act). According to ESAT, the agency's missions necessitated a permit. employment consultancy in BC.

 

Eight, all applicants are legitimate "employment agencies," but employing within a corporation without a license is illegal. This exception isn't based on the quantity of a company's customers, but on its unique status. As the appellant points out, I agree that the applicant only targeted a single potential client (although, the evidence on this point is somewhat equivocal). The applicant did not have any locked-in clients.

Perhaps there was only ever a single customer for this startup. The applicant did not appear to be running a "single-client" service, according to the notes taken by the delegate. Instead, it aggressively sought out clients in the fields of high technology, finance, energy, and building. A "single-client" agency did not apply for a license (i.e., hiring exclusively for one employer). The company "seeks out" potential customers and applicants (my underlining).

The decision on appeal makes perfect sense. The Appeal Decision is not challenged in this application. Test D313/98 administered by Milan Holdings finds this application lacking.
