Well, found the actual part of the laws they are breaking, in the Alberta Employment Standards:
Termination of employment by employer - payment of earnings
9(1)  When an employer terminates an employee’s employment by
(a)    a termination notice under section 56,
(b)    termination pay under section 57(1) instead of a termination notice, or
(c)    a combination of a termination notice and termination pay under section 57(2),
the employer must pay the employee’s earnings not later than 3 consecutive days after the last day of employment.
(2)  When an employer terminates an employee’s employment and no termination notice or termination pay is required to be given, the employer must pay the employee’s earnings not later than 10 consecutive days after the last day of employment.
