statement.
Be smart collect you earnings!
While employed you have the right to request at anytime.
After employment ceases,
Wage recovery has a limitation of one year, special consideration of up to three years.
Unjust termination limitation is 90 days.

world wide employees
All Employees not only Canadians are entitled to their holiday pay.
If you have been mislead by management that you are not Canadian, or you work equal time therefore holidays are not included in your employment please take the time to get what is rightfully yours.

Seriously?
I am a former CHC pilot (recently resigned) and this is news to me. Are you seriously suggesting that CHC has shorted me my vacation pay for the last 5 years of my employment with them? Why has the union not done anything about this? I recall seeing a thread on their forum about this issue but nothing came of it. What should I do to recover MY $$$$?

class action suit?
I have heard this many times.......
But really it is easier than that, Canadian Labour laws are in place for everyone.
Contact the address and number, collect your complaint form. Submit it and wait for Labour Canada to send you a Cheque!!

A cheque from Labour Canada?
Why would Labour Canada send any CHC employee, former or current, a cheque? Is that a typo?
I've requested vacation pay in the past and was told that I worked so few hours on the 6 & 6 rotation, by their calculation, that I would not receive anything, but I will certainly contact the address you posted.

union!
The union is working on this as of now!
Possibly you will see something from them in the future, however this is (more beneficial, but still pursue it) for touring employees without union (all employment before CBA
or Engineering).
We work rotational, same as a firefighter, they are on standby many hours as well and the last time I talked with an individual in this group they were allowed holiday pay.
Labour Canada will enforce the payout, they will collect and send a cheque payable to you for amount owed.

please post
I understand that most people do not wish to post, with the possibility of Management finding out, making life at work unbearable.
Please post keep this forum alive and well, or PM me with consent to post the outcomes as people are asking for validation to this issue.

Let me first profess my ignorance from the outset, but comes as a complete surprise to me that a non-Canadian citizen working outside Canada for a Canadian company would be entitled to any form of redress or union representation or employment protection inside Canada under Canadian Law.
All I know is that in my part of the world the prospect of a successful outcome for an employee in similar circumstances is exactly zero.
But I do hope those affected get all that they're entitled to without any grief from their employer what-so-ever.

just call
As you will soon see all employees will be entitled with the CBA. the fact that you work away from Canada means nothing (from what I understand) if it is a Canadian company they are to uphold the laws.
How many non-residents or for that matter citizens of other countries have been paid holiday pay last July? A good many!! This should relieve any doubt.
If it is of any benefit I am a non-resident and Canada Labor has been very helpful.

HVHmt is correct in that the Canadian Industrial Relations Board / Labour Canada, whichever is the correct term, has precedent of supporting foreign workers deemed to be employed by Canadian corporations in other industries. Being on Canadian soil isn't, strictly speaking, necessary.
Yes, there is legal action pending.
Yes, it is in the CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) and clarifying documents.
Why this is being brought up for discussion here, I don't know.

HVHmt: Are you saying you have actually received a positive finding and monies from Labour Canada, or that you have applied?

Update
Good day, 4 years ago I have submitted a complain about this issue. I just received the outcome which have been decided by a referee; we are not eligible because the referee consider it has been paid. Now I'm considering to go on appeal.

yes
Yes, I have had positive findings from Labour Canada and received monies.
As for why this belongs here;
1) the company is withholding information from the employees.
2) there are more people affected here than pilots and limited to their union. All touring staff, especially the engineers have been misled.
3) this is the largest forum for touring crews.

latest news
For pilots it seems that Mr. Readys decision will be binding, from the signing of the CBA you are entitled to what CHC calculate.
As for employment prior to the CBA, it is laid out in the 2006 employment handbook, please make reference to this when in discussion with Canada labour.
Engineers please note that you will be entering into a union very soon.
Please take this time to file a complaint for your holiday pay owed to you, up to this point!
Please note that this can be completed anonymous and they do not need to release your name.
Please apply now, if a group effort is put forward they will not be able to deny what is yours!

Info
I understand some of you may not have the 2006 Employee handbook, PM me and I can send it to you.
As well The CBA was signed June 01, 2011.
Be sure to apply for the Gross Earnings, this will be the salary plus any Taxable benifits the CHC has decided to add to you. Ie. taxes paid in the country you are/were working in.

We're past the 1 year mark..
I am pleased to read of your success in garnering what is rightfully yours.
A few questions come to mind for those of us about to embark on this route.
a) did you apply prior to the one year anniversary of the CBA coming into effect?
b) If you applied past this point, did this present any particular problems?
c) Did you obtain the full amount owed, or a percentage thereof..?
d) Was the amount described in (c) paid by CHC?..or by another entity?
Thank you again for 'marking the trail'...
PM if you prefer...

reply,
Applied after the one year mark, yes there are issues!
The percentage was different, direct from company.
I understand that there may be a change shortly! As labour Canada is investigating if Mr. Readys decision is more restrictive (to employee) than the law.
If they find it is so, then we will have a very favorable outcome!!
I cannot stress how important it is for all to make their claim now and keep the pressure on!
United we can finally get what we deserve, stand on the sidelines and regret is all we will share!
