Employment standards
Overtime the way each statute writes it
Ontario overtime starts after 44 hours a week. Alberta pays on whichever is greater, 8 a day or 44 a week. British Columbia has daily two-tier overtime plus weekly 40. SeroPayroll applies each one as written, and banks time off where the province permits it.
Daily and weekly thresholds
Whatever combination the jurisdiction uses — daily, weekly, two-tier, or greater-of.
Banked time
Overtime banked as time off where the province permits it, with the date it has to be used by.
Expired time is paid, not lost
Banked time past its deadline is listed first, because the remedy is to pay it — and an employer who cannot see it cannot pay it.
Frequently asked questions
Can employees choose banked time instead of overtime pay?
Where the province allows banking, yes. The balance is kept in hours, and anything not used by its deadline is shown as owed.
