Proposed Guideline Withdrawal | Feedback Opportunity
As a part of APEGA’s regular publication review process, we assess our practice standards, bulletins, and guidelines to ensure they remain up to date and aligned with our role as regulator of the engineering and geoscience professions in Alberta.
Based on this review, APEGA is proposing to withdraw the Guideline for Contract Employees and Independent Contractors.
This guideline was developed to address business and employment considerations related to contract employees and independent contractors for permit holders. As these matters fall outside of APEGA’s legislative mandate, these considerations are better addressed by other industry associations, legal professionals, or government agencies.
Registrants and the public had the opportunity to submit feedback on the proposed withdrawal of the Guideline for Contract Employees and Independent Contractors from May 1 to June 30, 2026. Submissions will be reviewed before a decision is made.
