PART XI ADMINISTRATION — Unpaid Wages Account

65

(1) For the purpose of carrying out the power conferred by paragraph 62(d), the director shall open an account known as the Unpaid Wages Account into which all money paid by employers to the director or to those officers designated by the director to receive unpaid wages from employers shall be deposited and a remittance of wages to an employee entitled to those wages shall be recorded in that account.

65(2)

The Unpaid Wages Account shall once in each calendar year be audited by the auditor general for the financial year immediately preceding the date of the audit.

65(3)

As soon as possible after crediting wages to the Unpaid Wages Account, the director shall remit the sum received to the employee in respect of whom it is paid, but if, after making all reasonable inquiries, the director is unable to ascertain the whereabouts of the employee and no claim is made by the employee for payment within a period of 2 years from the date the money was credited to the Unpaid Wages Account, the money becomes the property of the Crown and forms part of the Consolidated Revenue Fund.
