Employer Didn’t Sponsor Me or Report My Hours. What Are My Options?

Hey everyone,

I’m a Level 3 plumbing apprentice from Vancouver, BC. I recently worked for a service plumbing company for about 4–5 months, but I ended up leaving because service work wasn’t the right fit for me.

I also just completed Level 2 Plumbing at BCIT a few days ago. The issue I’m having is that my former employer never registered as my sponsor and never reported any of the apprenticeship hours I worked. I’ve contacted him multiple times and asked him to log my hours, but nothing has been submitted to SkilledTradesBC.

I have records showing that I worked there, including my ROE. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What is the process for getting those hours credited toward my apprenticeship when the employer refuses to report them?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
