In order to continue to offer the flexibility our team currently enjoys with setting their own hours, we have to submit a petition to Alberta ESA in order to apply for a variance to extend the maximum number of consecutive work hours in a day beyond 12 hours, up to a maximum of 16 hours.

If we do not do so, employees will have to limit all their work to a 12-hour period, regardless of how many hours they log in that period.

Eg.

- if someone starts at 9 am and works till 2 pm, and then works from 9 to 10 pm, it would be against the ESA

- if someone works from 7 am to 10 am, then attends a host reception from 6 pm to 9 pm, it would be against the ESA

Thank you for your cooperation.
