{{Checkbox}} Determine the employee’s legal remedy based on the legal basis for the employee’s complaint: A breach of the Employment Standards Act will lead to a claim at the Employment Standards Branch; a breach of the Human Rights Code will lead to a complaint at the Human Rights Tribunal; and a breach of the employment contract, or one of its implied terms, will lead to a claim in Small Claims Court (for claims under $35,000 as of June 1, 2017) BC Supreme Court (for claims over $35,000 as of June 1, 2017), or the Civil Resolution Tribunal (for claims $5,000 or under).  As of June 1, 2017, with a number of exceptions, civil claims of up to $5000 will no longer be dealt with in Small Claims Court – instead, they will be resolved in B.C.’s online Civil Resolution Tribunal.
