Summary of Issue: Quebec Construction Decree

Decision A0333.12 Full Text of Decision A0333.12

An investigation revealed that the claimant reported $130.00 a week while the employer stated that the claimant earned $147.08 in each of the 10 weeks at issue. On the basis of these facts, the Commission informed the claimant that the allocation of the unreported wages resulted in an overpayment of $150.00. The claimant argued that he did not consider the unreported amounts earnings because they were deducted by his employer and paid to the CCQ for his annual vacation. The FCA confirmed that the amounts deducted as vacation pay were sent to the CCQ, which acts as a trustee, should be considered earnings subject to allocation under section 36(4) of the Regulations.

I erred in stating in the DAIGLE case that the BRYDEN decision did not apply to annual vacation pay paid under the Quebec Construction Decree. The decision to allocate vacation pay over the annual vacation period in December is thereby quashed.
