  Hanna R. asked:

  Just heard some disturbing news last night from a friend in Montreal. Seems New Breed has bounced the last two paychecks to its artists. So that's 4 weeks no pay. They've considered a class action but the higher ups at New Breed don't seem to concerned since the artists really seem to exhausted to follow through. Since I'm not Canadian nor is my friend, does anyone from our Canadian peers know what options they may have to fight this or know any good lawyers in the Montreal area?

  Hey Miko. I got a response from Quebec DOL. Hello, We are following up on your request for information concerning labour standards in Québec. If the employer is owing wages to the employee, he may file a complaint at Commission des normes du travail by internet or with an agent of customer service by phone at (514) 873-7061 or 1-800-265-1414 between 8 h00 and 17 h00 from Monday to Friday. THE TIME LIMIT FOR FILING THE COMPLANT IS ONE YEAR THE DUE DATE. Section 98 stipulates: Claim of wages Where the employer fails to pay to an employee the wage owing to him, the Commission, on behalf of that employee, may claim the unpaid wage from that employer.
