Get help with Employment Standards
Employment Standards can't give legal advice. We can't tell you what you should do, or whether a specific work situation is allowed by employment standards – but we can tell you about employment standards and how our programs work.
You can also find answers about your work situation on our website or Solution Explorer.
Not every work issue or type of work is related to B.C. employment standards. Before you contact us, find out if the standards apply to you.
By phone
Someone can help you in the language of your choice. Service is available Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 5 pm Pacific Time.
