Strike Pay — Important Instructions for WestJet Mainline Members

• Eligibility: This form is for WestJet mainline members only. WestJet Encore members who choose to join picket lines are not entitled to strike pay and must NOT complete this form.

• Banking information requirements:

  • Transit/branch number: exactly 5 digits

  • Bank/institution number: exactly 3 digits

  • Account number: 7 to 13 digits

  • Your information on the form must match your bank records exactly. Failure to verify accurate information will result in missed payments.

• Verification and responsibility:

  • It is the member’s responsibility to verify that the banking details entered are correct to ensure payments are deposited successfully.

  • When signing up for a picket shift you must check the box confirming you have already entered and verified your banking information.

• If you have trouble completing the form on this page:

  • Click the button above to access the form.

  • We recommend requesting your transit/branch, institution, and account numbers directly from your bank rather than relying on a void cheque, as numbers on void cheques can be difficult to read.

• Support and confidentiality:

  • We cannot assist with identifying or deciphering bank numbers. If you cannot find or read these numbers, you must contact your bank.

  • Your banking information is secure and will be shared only with those required to administer strike pay.

• Critical notice:

  • If correct banking information is not received, even if you check in and out of a picket line, you will not receive strike pay.

Please ensure all details are entered accurately and verified before signing up for picket shifts.
