With only two weeks until the application deadline, employees and employers who need to extend temporary layoffs beyond the Aug. 30, 2020, expiry date are entering a critical phase to meet deadlines. Businesses requiring an extension should apply for a variance using the Employment Standards Branch’s new online application by Aug. 25.
The BC Government will discuss the temporary layoff extension variance process and upcoming deadlines for employers.
