Apply your sound judgement, decision-making and analytical skills in a key leadership role!

The ESB Employment Standards Branch (ESB) is responsible for ensuring that all employees under provincial jurisdiction, including temporary foreign workers (TFWs), receive minimum standards of employment and are treated fairly at work. In discharging its mandate, the ESB conducts investigations, inspections, and audits; issues decisions, permits, licenses and variances; collects unpaid wages and maintains mandatory employer registries. The ESB also engages in outreach and education to increase awareness of the rights and obligations of employees, TFWs and employers in BC.

The responsibilities of the Decision-Maker/Team Lead role consist of a balance of leadership activities and administrative decision making. The position supports a team of investigators who investigate and resolve complaints under the Employment Standards Act (the “ESA”) and the Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act (the “TFWPA”). The Decision-Maker/Team Lead is responsible for overseeing these investigations, reviewing investigation reports, and writing decisions on investigations which do not voluntarily resolve. As a result, a sizeable portion of the position’s time is devoted to developing and working with their team of investigators and the Decision-Maker/Team Lead plays a critical role in ensuring the Branch’s work is of the highest quality. The role is also responsible for writing determinations under the ESA and TFWPA. Decision-Makers/Team Leads must efficiently organize their time and create space to write determinations.
