We encourage employees and employers to resolve their issues directly if possible. If not, contact us for information about filing a wage complaint under the Employment Standards Act.
Who can submit a wage complaint?
If there’s a dispute over wages, either the employer or employee can submit a wage complaint. A third party can also file on someone’s behalf.
When can I submit a wage complaint?
You must file your complaint within 6 months of the date the wages were due.
Why submit a wage complaint?
Submit a wage complaint if you believe you are owed:
- regular wages;
- overtime pay;
- vacation pay;
- general holiday pay;
- termination pay;
- unauthorized deductions;
- reporting pay;
- minimum wage (or fair wage schedule);
- entitlement to job protected leave; or
- entitlement to other compensation under the employment contract
We’ll investigate the last 12 months of employment records and issue a certificate for any wages owed.
You can keep your complaint confidential to protect your relationship with your employer.
