Common questions from British Columbia agencies

Does Kordis track Serving It Right expiry?

Yes. Serving It Right certificates issued after September 2015 are valid for 5 years, and Kordis holds each worker's expiry date, texts renewals at 90 days, 2 weeks, and 3 days out, and gates dispatch so an expired card never reaches a pour.

Does Kordis handle BC's daily overtime rules?

Pay calculation stays with your payroll provider, including BC's 8-hour daily and 40-hour weekly thresholds. Kordis makes sure the provider starts from clean, confirmed hours per worker per day, moved from client timesheets without re-typing.

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?

Light industrial and warehouse, private-pay nursing and PSW, and banquets, events, and hotels. The credential gates adapt per industry: forklift training for warehouse crews, registration and clearance cards for care staff, Serving It Right for event staff.
