Your narrative documents the employer, employment timeline, ESC contraventions, total owed, and requested enforcement (Order to Pay, AMP, director liability, reprisal remedy). NOTE the 6-month administrative lookback under s.90(3).
Alberta's administrative lookback is 6 months under ESC s.90(3). The civil-court route (Limitations Act, Alberta Court of King's Bench) gives 2 years. Most workers use the administrative track; civil track if older wages are significant.
ESC s.112 certificate cannot be filed more than 2 years after the director ceased to hold the position. Names matter — capture them while directors are still in role.
