We are a small construction company based in Saskatchewan but we have a contract for some work in Alberta. Whose Employment Standards should we be following? Some of our employees will be from Saskatchewan, but we are also hiring some temporary employees near the work site. Secondarily, we have a Modified Work Arrangement that allows us to average 160 hours over 4 weeks. Will we have to re-negotiate that with our Alberta employees?
Thank you for your response!

Here’s Alan’s response. Apologize for keeping you waiting over the weekend.

The best thing is to contact both of the WCB boards.
Coverage for SK employees would normally be extended to those working temporarily in AB. However, you would have to contact the AB board to get a waiver for these employees.
The employer would have to register for any AB employees hired locally.
