Any Advice? (Alberta, Canada)

Looking for advice on what to do. I just recently put my notice into my job and quit and plan on filing a complaint against them for owed wages for overtime and holiday as they refuse to pay the employees for it. Now, we got the message passed along to us that our employer will be about 5 days late paying us for this month as they're on vacation and I'm pretty sure their son does payroll. I sent a text to their daughter who is still in the city basically telling her I depend on my pay to be paid to me on the agreed upon date as I have bills and rent due. All she replied with was “I'll ask dad” and I left it at that. Should I say anything else? Can I report it? Because legally they have 5 days (from yesterday) to submit my ROE…

Because legally they have 5 days (from yesterday) to submit my ROE and I know they won't do that until they get back as well.

Any advice? I want to be like “Yeah keep me in the loop of what he says. If he can't pay me then I will be escalating it to the labour board” but 1. I don't know if I can take that to the labour board and 2. Idk if it's stupid to threaten them with that.

Only reason I haven't reached out to them is because they're out of the country and cannot take calls or texts.
