Why Change?
• Ensure compliance with MOL by recognizing
Overtime and Stat Holidays
• Enhances our ability to recruit staff by being a
compensation leader in the industry
• Pay employees for hours they work
• Pay the right people the more money

Save $ Option
• Option to bank pay for the winter when less
hours are worked
• This is not the same as banking hours – staff
are banking $
• All earnings are processed in the pay period
earned, all CRA deductions will have been
paid. Staff are simply banking net $ over and
above a pre determined amount

Lessons Learned
• Need to ensure employee buy in
• Budget for OT hours and stat holiday pay
• Provide real life case study scenarios based
upon employees past hours worked
• Staggered start times:
 Crew leader vs Lead hand vs laborer
• Manage downtime (non billable hours)
• Average total hours worked for full time field
staff in summer = 1,614
• Average overtime hours paid for field staff in
summer = 172
