What CPEEP does

CPEEP — the Comité paritaire de l'entretien d'édifices publics de la région de Québec — is a joint labor-management committee (comité paritaire) established in 1969 under Quebec's Loi sur les décrets de convention collective. It enforces the building service employee collective decree, governing working conditions, wages, and statutory obligations for the building maintenance and cleaning workforce across 11 Quebec administrative regions. Its mandate covers 800 or more employer businesses in the sector, which are statutorily required to register, file monthly reports, and remit levies.

The committee's core operational functions are regulatory rather than commercial: it processes monthly employer declarations, administers a mandatory RRSP program for covered employees (introduced November 2023, with phased contribution increases through November 2025), adjudicates complaints and disputes under the decree, and issues compliance guidance. It operates a web portal for employer reporting and an internal case-management workflow. As a paritary body, governance is shared between employer and union representatives rather than owned by shareholders, and it does not have customers in the conventional sense — its counterparties are mandated participants.

CPEEP is a non-profit, privately constituted organization (not publicly traded) headquartered at 720 rue d'Everell, bureau 200, Québec G1C 0N2. Its revenue model is fully statutory: a 0.50% levy on covered employer payroll and a 0.50% levy on covered employee remuneration, supplemented by RRSP contribution deductions. Financial figures are not publicly disclosed. The general manager is Nicole Simard. There is no evidence of external funding rounds, M&A activity, or commercial product lines outside the decree's enforcement scope.

Revenue model

1. Statutory Levies / Dues: CPEEP funds its operations through mandatory levies on employers and employees in the regulated industry. The employer contributes 0.5% of payroll for covered employees, and the employee contributes 0.5% of their remuneration. The employer collects the employee portion via payroll deduction and remits both amounts monthly to the committee.

Core offering

CPEEP (Comité paritaire de l'entretien d'édifices publics de la région de Québec) is a joint employer-union regulatory committee established in 1969 under Quebec's Loi sur les décrets de convention collective. It administers and enforces the Décret sur le personnel d'entretien d'édifices publics — a government-extended collective agreement governing minimum wages, hours, leave entitlements, and working conditions for cleaning and maintenance staff in public buildings across multiple Quebec regions.

Product overview

CPEEP (Comité paritaire de l'entretien d'édifices publics de la région de Québec) is a joint employer-union regulatory committee established in 1969, not a technology product company. It governs over 800 businesses in the janitorial/maintenance industry across Quebec. Its core offering is the Décret sur le personnel d'entretien d'édifices publics — a legally extended collective agreement setting minimum wages, working hours, leave entitlements, and benefits for cleaning staff in public buildings. CPEEP supplements this regulatory framework with operational services: an employer's practical guide, a monthly reporting portal for compliance monitoring, a complaint processing service for enforcement, a collective RRSP plan for retirement benefits, and a privacy protection framework. The organization derives no revenue from software products; its income comes from statutory deductions (0.5% of payroll from employers and 0.5% from employees).

Direct peers

• Comité paritaire de l'entretien d'édifices publics de la région de Montréal: The Montreal-region equivalent of CPEEP, operating under the same Loi sur les décrets de convention collective framework to enforce minimum working conditions for building maintenance workers in public buildings. Same function, same decree model, different geographic territory.
• Comité paritaire des agents de sécurité de la région de Montréal: Another Quebec paritarian committee under the same Loi sur les décrets de convention collective, governing security guard working conditions in the Montreal region. Identical governance structure (joint employer-union) and enforcement mandate, applied to a different occupation.
• Comité paritaire de l'industrie de l'automobile de la région de Montréal: Quebec paritarian committee enforcing minimum working conditions in the automotive services sector. Operates under the same Loi sur les décrets de convention collective as CPEEP, with the same joint employer-union governance model.

Broad incumbents

• Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ): Quebec's provincial construction industry regulator with broad authority over working conditions, licensing, training, and labor relations across the construction sector. Larger and more specialized than CPEEP, but operates in an adjacent regulatory role under Quebec law.
• Commission des normes du travail (CNT): Quebec's labor standards commission enforcing the Labour Standards Act across all sectors. CPEEP's decree functions as a sector-specific overlay to CNT's general provincial standards, making CNT a comparable (but broader) labor standards enforcement body.

Others

• Corporation des entrepreneurs en entretien ménager de Québec: The employer-side counterpart in CPEEP's governance structure and one of the original signatories to the 1969 collective agreement. Not a competitor but a closely linked industry association that shares joint oversight responsibility for the decree.
