CRFA Update
On June 16 Manitoba made a number of changes to the provincial Employment Standards Code (Bill 23), including new “flextime” provisions for full-time staff.
Effective Jan. 1, 2012, employers and employees will be free to enter into individual flextime agreements without approval of the provincial Director of Employment Standards. However, any flextime agreement would be subject to review by Employment Standards officials and would have to meet these conditions:
- the flextime agreement must be employee-initiated;
- the agreement must be in writing;
- the employee must be a full-time staff member (minimum 35 hours/week);
- the employee’s altered workday cannot exceed 10 hours;
- the employee’s work week cannot exceed 40 hours; and
- either party to the agreement can cancel it with two weeks’ written notice.
The Bill’s other changes to the Code will allow foodservice and retail operations to apply for averaging permits, replace the existing “wilful misconduct” standard with a “just cause” standard for terminating employment, and extend the Code’s holiday requirement exemptions to climate-controlled agri-businesses.
