Quebec CNESST Unpaid Wages & Labour Standards Demand Letter
Formal demand to a Quebec employer (with copy to CNESST) under the Act Respecting Labour Standards (CQLR c. N-1.1) for unpaid wages, overtime at 150% (s.55), vacation indemnity (s.74 at 4% or 6%), and termination indemnity (s.82). Preserves the twelve-month limitation (s.115) and, where applicable, the 45-day limits for practice-prohibited (s.122) and unjust-dismissal (s.124) recourses.

Before you start
What exactly do I get, and when?
A personalized PDF letter, written around the statute that applies to your situation, with the deadline and the consequence spelled out. It downloads the moment payment confirms, back here on commoner-law.com — there is no waiting period and no account to create. You can also add certified mail at checkout and we will send the physical letter for you.
How much is it?
$19, once. Not a subscription, and nothing is charged until you complete payment on Stripe at the end of the wizard. Any add-ons you select show their own price before you pay.
Is this legal advice?
Self-help demand tool; not legal advice / Ne constitue pas un avis juridique. Verify current CNESST procedures and limitation dates before relying on specific numbers. Filings with CNESST are free and generally more effective than civil litigation for unpaid-wage claims.
What if I need to change something afterwards?
Tell us and we will either adjust the letter and send you the updated version at no cost, or refund you in full — your choice. If we can’t deliver what you paid for, the refund is automatic. Full terms are on our promise page.
Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?
No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
