Just to clarify, there is a difference between "labour" law and "employment" law. If you work in a union and you're governed by a collective agreement, it is subject to "labour" legislation known as the BC Labour Relations Code. Otherwise, you're governed by "employment" legislation the Employment Standards Act.
I'm assuming you're in the latter group, but if not, your collective agreement contains all of this info and I'm sure a union representative can advise.
