Hello, I am the HR Manager for the company. It is a family run business. I just started last week as they never had a HR department before. My question for you is that employees who are salaried, that come late consistently, can they have deductions in their pay? is that legal? Also for sick days, we know that in ontario, employees can get up to 3 unpaid sick days full time or part time employees, does this include hourly employees as well? what happens if they take the 3 days already and then what about the 4th? how do i create a policy based on this?
My name is David Vaughan and I’m an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. You cannot deduct the wages of an employee without their written authorization. The proper way to handle this situation is through progressive discipline and eventually termination of employment. Second, an employee is not entitled to be paid for time they are sick beyond the time mandated by employment standards legislation. Please contact me if you would like us to work on a policy for you to address these issues and others.
