Staffing agency software built for BC
Kordis is staffing agency software built for British Columbia agencies with 25 to 200 workers. It fills shifts with staged confirmation calls and texts, tracks the cards BC workers carry, and moves hours from timesheet to payroll file without re-typing.
BC's rules are built in: Young or New Worker Orientation follows the site, lift-truck training and employer assessment stay together, food-safety and WHMIS records stay conditional, and WorkSafeBC clearances remain company records.
Rules verified July 30, 2026 against the sources at the bottom of this page.

What are the rules for a staffing agency in British Columbia?
The licences, clearances, and pay rules a British Columbia temp agency operates under, with the government sources they come from.
| Rule | What BC requires | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Agency licence | Employment agencies must be licensed under the Employment Standards Act. The application fee is $100, and renewals go in at least 30 days before expiry. | BC Employment Standards |
| Workers' compensation | WorkSafeBC registration; clients check clearance letters online before hiring and before paying. | WorkSafeBC |
| Statutory holiday pay | Eligible after 30 days employed and 15 days worked in the 30 before the holiday. An average day's pay: total wages divided by days worked in that 30-day window. Eleven statutory holidays. | BC Employment Standards |
| Overtime | 1.5 times pay after 8 hours in a day and 2 times after 12; 1.5 times after 40 hours in a week. | BC Employment Standards |
| Records and worker fees | Licensed employment agencies keep placement records for 2 years and cannot charge a person for finding them work. | BC Employment Standards |
| Forklift | Operator training and testing to CSA B335-15 plus the receiving employer's experience check and practical assessment. Refresher training within 3 years or earlier after specified changes or unsafe performance; WorkSafeBC does not require a government certificate. | WorkSafeBC |
What does Kordis do for a British Columbia agency?
Young or New Worker Orientation tied to the receiving site and repeated when the workplace or hazards change.
Lift-truck training and testing evidence kept separate from the receiving employer's equipment assessment and authorization.
FOODSAFE or ProcessSafe appears only when establishment coverage or client policy calls for it; plant modules stay site-specific.
Expiry-dated evidence gets reminders before its recorded date; change-triggered records do not receive a made-up annual expiry.
Confirmation calls and texts are staged for your OK before they go out.
One-click compliance packs per worker when a client asks.
Hours from every client's timesheet format to your payroll file without re-typing.
Pay calculation and payroll stay with your payroll provider; your books stay in your accounting tool. Kordis is the layer that fills the shifts and gets the hours there clean. See how it works and pricing.
Common questions from British Columbia agencies
Does Kordis track BC forklift and food-safety credentials?
Yes, with the scopes kept honest. Lift-truck training/testing and the receiving employer's assessment stay separate. FOODSAFE, ProcessSafe, WHMIS and plant modules appear only when the establishment, exposure facts or client policy makes them applicable.
Does Kordis handle BC's daily overtime rules?
Yes, in the way that matters operationally: hours are split against BC's 8-hour daily and 40-hour weekly thresholds before they reach your payroll file, with the split shown so you can check it. Your payroll provider still applies the rates and cuts the pay.
Can clients see our WorkSafeBC standing?
Yes. WorkSafeBC runs an online clearance letter tool that shows whether a business is registered and in good standing. Clients check it before hiring and before paying, so keep your account current and keep the letters with your client records.
Which BC staffing industries does Kordis serve?
Warehouse and 3PL, food and beverage processing, and manufacturing and assembly. Warehouse readiness follows the actual equipment and site; food follows plant modules and zones; manufacturing follows the machine, process and authority level.
