British Columbia unpaid wages: how quickly should I file after leaving a job?

Jez Smith4 October 2026

BC’s Employment Standards Act generally requires a complaint relating to a former employee to be filed within six months after the last day of employment. The amount of wages recoverable through an Employment Standards determination is also limited by the Act, so delay can matter. Official source: BC Employment Standards Act.
