ALT 3 more signs your boss is stealing your wages
ALT #1 Your boss keeps paying you late * Bad bosses will make excuses to not pay you on time. * "I'm waiting for my client to pay me." * "Sorry, our accountant is on vacation." * But their excuses do not matter: The law states you must have a regular pay period. * For example, every 2 weeks on a Friday. * If you keep getting paid late, it can be hard to know how much you are owed. * Start keeping accurate records of every hour you worked, when you get paid and how much you got paid.
ALT #2 You are unsure who your boss is * Bad bosses will use “shell” companies to hide from being responsible for paying you. * For example, they’ll make you work at Company A, but then pay you through Company B. * This complicated structure allows them to say, “You don’t work for us. You work for 12345 Ontario Inc.” or say “You were hired by a subcontractor. Talk to them.” * If you cannot tell who your boss is, you cannot hold them accountable. * Start gathering proof of who pays you and who you work for. With enough evidence, you can prove joint responsibility.
ALT #3 You and your coworkers tips never add up * Bosses can be part of the employee tip pool only if a substantial amount of their work is the same work as workers that get tips. For example, an owner that serves drinks at the bar every night. * It can be hard for workers to prove when employers steal our tips. * The problem is, the law does not require: * any employers to provide written statements on tip outs * all employers to provide a written tip pooling policy * If you want to take action against stolen tips, reach out to the Workers Action Centre
