Protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your information over the internet, by telephone, or through our office is fundamental to the way we do business at Whistler and Squamish Personnel Solutions (WPS).   Our Privacy Policy and related procedures that guide the handling of the personal information we collect is as follows:

Personal Information

WPS collects information from candidates through our Application Form and from our Employees and Temporary Workers through our Payroll Enrollment Process. These personal details are required to provide you with the best possible service in your job search and employment with WPS.   WPS never collects more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes, unless requested by the client and consented to by the job seeker. Your file may contain the following personal information.

  • Contact information including name, telephone address & email information.
  • Our interview notes.
  • Information obtained through reference and background checks.
  • Educational records.
  • Reference letters.
  • Skill testing results.
  • Payroll Information *for WPS employees only.

Resumes and Applications

Since www.whistler-jobs.com is a staffing site, you may send us your resume. Resume and application information may be stored on the site and digitally in our secured database. Only WPS employees access your personal information and are fully aware of WPS’ privacy policies. WPS does not sell this information to any group or company outside of WPS.  It can, however, with your permission, share applicant information with a third party at WPS’ sole discretion if you are responding to a job posting. We do not send your resume to any party without your consent to do so.

Employee Contact and Payroll Information

If a candidate is hired by WPS as a temporary worker, then WPS will collect all of the information required by law and our payroll service so that we may legally pay that employee.   This includes legal name, address, contact information, social insurance number, work permit details and bank information.   WPS takes considerable care and security measures to ensure that this information is stored safely for as long as it is required by law.   The name and phone number of an employee who consents to be scheduled as a temporary worker may be shared with WPS clients when they book that employee for a shift for communication and safety purposes.  We do not share your personal information with any other parties without your consent to do so.

Your Consent

Effective January 1, 2004, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act requires that individuals provide consent to the ongoing use of their personal information. Our Application Form and Employee Payroll systems contain a Consent option which must be checked in the affirmative in order to save your information and represent or employ you.  We imply this provides permission to use your personal information for purposes that are obvious to you. For example, if you list references on your resume, we will not seek additional permission before checking with these individuals.

How Long is Your Information Retained?

We retain your information as long as we are offering placement services and employment to you, or longer if required by law. For permanent placements and temporary employees, we retain your information for seven years after you accept a position or complete your active employment with WPS.

Update or Remove Personal Information

In the event you do not wish to continue receiving occasional information from WPS, or to change, remove, or modify information previously provided, please e-mail details of your request to us at info@whistler-jobs.com with “remove” or “unsubscribe” in the subject line.
