I am in BC. My job requires me to go into work before and after a shift to pick up and drop off equipment required for the shift. I personally feel like this is unpaid labour. If I am required to go and get the equipment prior to and after my paid shift starts, I consider that time that I am working, and I think that it is unpaid labour. I am told by my boss that "that is not the right way to look at it, you need this gear to do your job". I assume unpaid labour is illegal in BC? Are there parts of the employment standards acts that could help clarify?​ Thanks!
