Do you work for tips? Legislation tabled by BC NDP govt will establish a legal framework around tips & tip-pooling practices to prevent employers from withholding them from workers. #bcpoli #betterlabourlaws4bc
Under current laws, if an employer illegally withholds wages from an employee, the employee can only go after them for max 6 months of wages. These Employment Standards Act changes will increase the recovery period to 12 months, and up to 24 months in some situations. #bcpoli
We are also getting rid of the infamous "Self-Help Kit" that required workers to try to confront employers on issues like wage theft on their own before the Employment Standards Branch would step in. Needless to say, many workers choose not to try this. #bcpoli
