The 2 territorial decrees
A dedicated page per decree
Public building maintenance is governed by two distinct decrees depending on where the building is located, each administered by its own joint committee. Explore the rules of yours.
Montreal and surrounding area
The Montreal region decree, administered by CPEEP Montreal, covering buildings in the municipalities listed in its Schedule I.
- 40-hour standard week
- 50% premium beyond 40 hours
- Monthly .rma/.edi report
Quebec City and other regions
The Quebec City region decree, administered by the Quebec City joint committee, covering the rest of Quebec's territory.
- 40-hour standard week
- 50% premium beyond 40 hours
- Monthly report by the 15th
The reality in the field
CPEEP comes at you on two fronts. Clic Horaire covers both.
The joint committee doesn't just receive your reports: it also sends inspectors to verify what actually happens in your buildings. Clic Horaire answers both requirements with the same data: the data clocked in the field.
Administrative compliance (reports and levies)
Everything the committee expects from you each month and each year, calculated automatically from the shifts actually clocked.
Electronic monthly report
Hours, premiums, and bonuses consolidated per employee, generated automatically as an .rma file, ready to be encrypted in the .edi format provided by CPEEP. No manual month-end compilation.

Class A (heavy work), Class B (light work), and Class C (height work), daily and weekly overtime thresholds, evening, night, and weekend premiums: every rule in the decree triggers based on the time ranges actually clocked.
Source: CPEEP DecreeSick-leave bank management
The 2.44% credit on paid hours accrues every pay period. Clic Horaire triggers the balance assessment on October 31 and flags any excess owed ahead of the December 10 deadline, with no parallel record-keeping.
Source: CPEEP DecreeJoint committee levies
Exact calculation of the employer levy (0.5% of payroll) and the employee levy (0.5% of wages), 1% in total, straight from pre-payroll data that has already been qualified.
Source: CPEEP employer obligationsVacation, statutory holidays, and seniority
Annual leave and its indemnities scale with seniority, statutory holidays under the decree are recognized, and paid rest periods along with the team-lead premium apply with no manual setup.
Source: CPEEP DecreeProtection against inspections (evidence and audit trail)
An inspection isn't something you prepare for: you either endure it or you prove your case. Your evidence builds up continuously, before the inspector ever walks in.
The courts, up to the Supreme Court of Canada, have confirmed the breadth of joint committees' verification powers: access to workplaces, books, registers, and disbursement journals (Comité paritaire de l'industrie de la chemise v. Potash, [1994] 2 S.C.R. 406).
Immutable forensic audit trail
A tamper-evident history of every action, across employees, supervisors, and administrators. You demonstrate who changed what, when, and why, instead of explaining it from memory.
Geolocated hours register, building by building
A direct answer to the obligation to prove, for each employee, the hours worked and the exact location of each contract. Geolocated punching feeds the register continuously, building by building.
Source: CPEEP hours registerTamper-evident pre-payroll history
Perfect alignment between field punching, your payroll disbursements, and the reports filed with the committee: all three tell the same story, from the same source data.
End to end
From clock-in to report, without a single line written by hand

Geolocated field time-tracking

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about CPEEP compliance
Answers to the most common questions from managers subject to the public building maintenance decree.
How does Clic Horaire protect me during a CPEEP inspection, in the field or in our books?
The courts grant CPEEP inspectors broad verification powers: access to workplaces, disbursement journals, and the hours register. Clic Horaire acts as your shield: geolocated punching proves actual presence at each building, and the forensic audit trail preserves a tamper-evident history of every schedule or pre-payroll change. You produce verifiable evidence in one click, with nothing to reconstruct after the fact.
Source: CPEEP hours registerHow does Clic Horaire calculate the CPEEP sick leave bank?
The sick leave credit (2.44% of paid hours) accrues automatically every pay period, and the balance is assessed on October 31. If the balance exceeds the maximum accumulation (60% of paid hours over the last 4 weeks), Clic Horaire flags the excess owed, in line with the written notice required before November 30 and the payment required before December 10.
Source: CPEEP DecreeDoes Clic Horaire meet the CPEEP decree's register requirements?
Yes. The decree requires a register showing, for each employee, hours worked and the exact location of each contract. Clic Horaire's geolocated time-tracking automatically feeds this register and keeps a full history, available at any time for a committee inspection.
Source: CPEEP Hours RegisterCan I export data for the CPEEP monthly report?
Yes. All accumulated hours, overtime, and premiums are exported as an .rma file, ready to be encrypted into the .edi format provided by CPEEP for your monthly submission.
Source: CPEEP Monthly ReportDoes Clic Horaire account for the paritary committee contribution?
Yes. The monthly report must include the employer's deduction (0.5% of total payroll) and the employee's deduction (0.5% of salary), 1% combined. These amounts are based directly on the pre-payroll data Clic Horaire has already qualified.
Source: CPEEP EmployerAre paid breaks and the team lead premium calculated automatically?
Yes. The decree provides for 2 paid 15-minute rest periods per 7-hour work period, plus a minimum 2% premium for the employee responsible for training and supervising at least 4 employees. Clic Horaire applies these rules automatically, with no manual setup.
