PAY DAY

Employees shall be paid weekly during working hours, not later than Thursday (unless the established project pay day is Friday). In no case shall more than five (5) regular working days be held back in any one payroll period.

Employees who are laid off or discharged from the service of the Employer shall receive their wages and all monies owing and their Employment Insurance Contribution Certificate on termination if the payroll is made up on the project, otherwise: a) the employee shall receive an Employer termination slip which shall show either their net pay and deductions, or the basic factors from which their pay will be calculated including: total pay hours, travel time and transportation allowances, subsistence, etc.; and b) the Employer shall mail all the employee’s final monies owing (unless payment is made by direct deposit) and the Record of Employment (unless filed electronically through the ROE website – please note that effective January 1, 2017 all Records of Employment must be filed electronically through the ROE website) within five calendar days after the end of the final pay period. When electronic deposits are made, the final deposit and other termination documentation mailings must be made by the next applicable pay period of the date of layoff or termination. Should the Employer fail to comply with this provision (excluding the reference to the Record of Employment), the employee shall receive an additional sum equivalent to eight (8) hours of pay at straight time rates for each day they are kept waiting exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and Statutory Holidays up to a maximum of forty (40) hours of pay.

When an employee quits of their own volition, the Employer shall mail all monies owing (unless payment is made by direct deposit) and the Record of Employment (unless filed electronically through the ROE website) to their last known address by regular mail on the regular payday applicable to the period worked. If the Employer fails to comply with this requirement within five (5) working days after the specified pay day, the employee shall receive an additional sum equivalent to eight (8) hours of pay at straight time rates.

The Employer has the option of utilizing an electronic banking system, commonly referred to as direct deposit. If electronic banking is to be used the Employer shall contact the Union prior to the start of the job to finalize the application and details of the system. Final payment and the Record of Employment (ROE) may also be completed electronically.
