Add Comment Question: I’m a truck driver. I have been trying to get bereavement pay from my employer. They say they don’t have to pay it, because they are provincially regulated. The company I work for is an agency. The work is contracted out from another company, and the agency pays us. I have been working for this agency for almost three years. Some of our drivers who work for the agency go across the border into the United States. My understanding of the Canada Labour Code is that if you go across provincial or international borders you are federally regulated, and obligated to pay three days bereavement pay. The agency that pays me, definitely goes across an international border. The company that contracts the work out to the agency, ships their products all over the world. Answer: If you cross provincial or national borders as part of your job, you would be federally regulated and governed by the Canada Labour Code.
