Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (flight attendants)
This enactment amends the Canada Labour Code to provide that, in calculating the time in respect of which an employee who is a flight attendant is to be paid, the employer must include the time that the employee spends in carrying out their pre-flight and post-flight duties and in completing mandatory training programs. It also provides that the employer must pay this employee not less than their regular rate of wages for carrying out these duties.
Bill C-250, if passed, would change how flight attendants are paid in Canada. Currently, some time spent on pre-flight and post-flight duties, as well as mandatory training, might not be paid. This bill ensures that employers must count this time towards the hours flight attendants are paid for. It also states that flight attendants must receive at least their regular wage for performing these specific duties.
