I was layed off not long ago and would like to go after my former employer for unpaid overtime and breaks over two and a half years. The Alberta labour board can only go back 6 months, but the majority of the OT was over the first year and a half. By my calculation with the records I have it is over $12-13k, so not chump change.
They also changed their recording method this year and would refuse to give proper breakdowns each pay period, probably to avoid exactly this. I have great records of my hours and paystubs (which were also not legal and used the CRA online calculator)
Should I sue? Can they be forced to provide hourly breakdown since they changed their system as it is probably another $8-10k of OT.
I had to do this once in BC but their labour relations board is much better and recouped my earnings. AB is not as employee friendly.
