Employees must be paid out in full within 14 days of their last day of work. If a payday falls within those 14 days, the employee must be paid for the pay period on their regular payday.

Wages that must be paid out by the end of the 14 day period include:

• regular wages (including banked overtime);
• public holiday pay and pay for working on a public holiday;
• pay instead of notice (if required);
• overtime pay; and
• vacation pay.

If the employer gives notice to the employee:

• banked overtime cannot replace a notice period;
• vacation days cannot replace a notice period; and
• the employee’s normal hours and wages cannot be reduced during the notice period.

If an employee is given pay instead of notice:

• banked overtime payouts cannot replace pay instead of notice; and
• vacation pay cannot replace pay instead of notice.

However, employees may request to use vacation or banked overtime during a notice period.

If an employer requires an employee to report to work to receive their lay-off or termination notice, that employee is entitled to reporting for duty pay. In most cases, reporting for duty pay is a minimum of three hours at the employee’s regular hourly wage rate.
