A Guide to the Employment Standards Act


14. VARIANCES

An employer and the employer's employees may jointly apply to the Branch to change or vary the following provisions of the Act:

A "variance" may be granted if the Branch is satisfied that the variance is consistent with the intent of the Act, and a majority of affected employees are in favour. The Branch may attach conditions to the variance. All variances include an expiry date, but may be renewed. An employer must post a copy of the variance where any affected employee can read it.

The procedure for applying for a variance is set out in section 30 of the Regulation.
