What the bill would do

• Short title: Names the bill the Flight Attendants’ Remuneration Act.
• Canada Labour Code: Adds a provision after section 177 requiring employers to include specified flight-attendant duties and time when calculating paid time worked in a day, week or pay period, for the purposes of section 169.

Who and what it affects

The proposed provision applies to employees who are flight attendants and their employers. It would require employers to count and pay for:

• Pre-flight and post-flight duties relating to aircraft security and passenger service, including assisting passengers with embarking and disembarking and conducting pre-flight cabin and passenger safety checks.
• Mandatory training programs.
• Time in the workplace, as defined in section 122, when the attendant is at the employer’s call and disposal. This includes flight delays, whether or not they are within the employer’s control.

Employers would have to pay at least the flight attendant’s regular wage rate for the work described. The text does not provide a cost estimate.
