The kit is designed to help employees and employers solve workplace disputes quickly and fairly. It includes a Request for Payment form and a letter from the Employment Standards Branch for you to give to your employer. | ||
#If there continues to be no resolution of the problem, you may then choose to file a ''complaint'' with the Employment Standards Branch. Note that you have ''six months'' to file a complaint from the time the wages were not paid or your employment ended. If you are within 30 days of the end of the six-month period, you should file your complaint with the Employment Standards Branch and ''then'' use the Self-Help Kit to try and resolve the problem. | |||
