給料日および給料の支払い

BC州では、給料の計算期間が最大で16日と決められており、その期間の最終日から8日以内に給料を支払わなくてはならないことになっています。

基本的に会社によって毎二週間もしくは月に二度の給料期間が定められているので、その最終日から8日以内に給料が支払われることになります。

もし雇用主が従業員を解雇した場合、解雇から48時間以内に、従業員側から辞めた場合は6日以内に、全額の給料が支払われなければいけません。これはカレンダー上の時間・日数で、営業日での計算ではありません。

また、給料日には雇用主は従業員に紙媒体もしくは電子データの給料の明細書（雇用主・従業員の情報や、給料の額、働いた時間、残業時間など）を渡さなければいけないことになっています。

EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ACT

“pay period” means a period of up to 16 consecutive days of employment;

At least semimonthly and within 8 days after the end of the pay period, an employer must pay to an employee all wages earned by the employee in a pay period.

An employee must be paid in full within 48 hours after the employer ends the employment, or within six days if the employee quits. This time is by the clock and the calendar – not business hours or business days.

(1) On every payday, an employer must give each employee a written wage statement for the pay period stating all of the following:

(a) the employer’s name and address;
(b) the hours worked by the employee;
(c) the employee’s wage rate, whether paid hourly, on a salary basis or on a flat rate, piece rate, commission or other incentive basis;
(d) the employee’s overtime wage rate;
(e) the hours worked by the employee at the overtime wage rate;
(f) any money, allowance or other payment the employee is entitled to;
(g) the amount of each deduction from the employee’s wages and the purpose of each deduction;
(h) if the employee is paid other than by the hour or by salary, how the wages were calculated for the work the employee is paid for;
(i) the employee’s gross and net wages;
(j) how much money the employee has taken from the employee’s time bank and how much remains.
(2) An employer may provide a wage statement to an employee electronically if the employer provides to the employee, through the workplace,
(a) confidential access to the electronic wage statement, and
(b) a means of making a paper copy of that wage statement.
