Public Interest Disclosure Act
The Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA), B.C.’s whistleblower protection law, came into effect on December 1, 2019. As of December 1, 2022, this legislation now applies to SkilledTradesBC. This law gives current and former employees of provincial government bodies a way to bring forward concerns about wrongdoing in their workplace, protected from reprisal.
Under PIDA, SkilledTradesBC’s CEO has the responsibility, as the head of a public body, to post an annual disclosure report on SkilledTradesBC’s website.
