Regulator's audit found companies owed employee drivers $1.6 million.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has upheld a $500,000 B.C. Container Trucking Commissioner fine levied against two companies for under-paying drivers and then trying to cover it up during an audit.

Using those powers, the office audited the companies' 2018 payroll records. The initial audit found all to be in order until a driver provided records the office had not seen.“In November 2018, the auditor issued an interim report, finding incomplete records, inconsistent information in the seized records when compared with the records provided by the companies in the initial audit, and multiple sets of log books with conflicting information,” Chan said.
