Can't find what you are looking for?

Do you need to contact the Alberta Labour Relations Board or the Employment Standards Branch?

Are you looking for information on this website that you cannot find? That may be because The Alberta Labour Relations Board administers the Labour Relations Code dealing with disputes between employers and trade unions [and employees represented by trade unions]. Information pertaining to the Alberta Labour Relations Board can be found on this website.

If you do not belong to a trade union, you will need to contact a different branch of the Provincial Government called the Employment Standards Branch. The Employment Standards branch administers the Employment Standards Code. Employment Standards deals with problems such as these:

  • Paying Earnings
  • Minimum Wage
  • Hours of Work and Rest
  • Overtime
  • Vacation Pay
  • General Holidays and General Holiday Pay
  • Notice of Termination
  • Maternity and Adoption Leave
  • Continuous Employment
  • Adolescents and Young People
  • Farm Labourers and Domestics
  • Wage Rate Changes
  • Statement of Earning and Deductions

Contact Employment Standards on the internet at: http://www3.gov.ab.ca/hre/employmentstandards/ or by telephone (780) 427-3731 (in Edmonton) or 310-0000 and dial (780) 427-3731 (outside of Edmonton). Their email address is employment.standards@gov.ab.ca The Employment Standards Code is the legislation that sets out the minimum standards that apply to employees and employers under provincial jurisdiction. Again, you can find this legislation on-line at http://www.qp.gov.ab.ca/documents/acts/E09.cfm.
