My employer has sometimes “not released my pay” on time. He claims this is an accident, but I think it happened too often to be accidental. I think he does this to bully me. Can he do this?

Your employer is required to provide your pay for a pay period no later than 10 days after the end of the pay period. Any longer than 10 days and your employer has broken your employment contract.

If you feel you are being bullied, you can contact the Employment Standards Telephone Counselling Service by calling 1.877.427.3731 (dial 780.427.3731 in Edmonton and surrounding areas).
