Backgrounders
The proposed changes will:
- help resolve straightforward complaints more efficiently, creating more predictability for employers and workers
- encourage greater communication between parties to help bring forward an early resolution
- shorten timelines for uniting workers with wages and other amounts that are owed to them
- align B.C. practices with other Canadian jurisdictions
The proposed amendments include:
- allowing the Employment Standards Branch to more quickly initiate the return of unclaimed wages to the workers entitled to them through Unclaimed BC, a caretaker for unclaimed funds in the province dedicated to locating the rightful owners of unclaimed money
- requiring employers who wish to appeal a determination to deposit the amount they owe before the appeal can proceed
- providing the director of employment standards with the discretion to decide when a written investigation report is required
- clarifying the director’s ability to close a complaint when no wages or other amounts are owed
- improving the director’s ability to require parties to engage in complaint resolution meetings for straightforward complaints before proceeding to full investigation
