0:00 - Intro

► 2:04 A forklift operator dropped some products and material on the job, doing a significant amount of damage. His employer was upset, and decided to deduct the amount of damage from the employee's wages. Can an employer deduct an employee's wages? Lior explains that an employer is not allowed to deduct any amounts from an employee's pay unless the employee gives permission. Otherwise, it would be an illegal breach of the Employment Standards Act.

► 21:33 A caller from https://stlawyers.ca/employment-law-show - As a middle manager, I earn a base salary as well as an additional $75,000 if our company reaches 100% of our sales goal for the year.
