The Alberta Employment Standards Code, specifically Part 2, Division 1, Section 12, outlines the regulations regarding deductions from employee earnings. Generally, employers cannot deduct sums of money from an employee’s pay unless specifically allowed by the Code. This section provides information and sample authorization forms to ensure compliance.
Key Requirements:
The Alberta Employment Standards Code mandates that employers meticulously record the actual hours worked by each employee on a daily basis. These records must accurately reflect the calculation of both regular and overtime hours, encompassing both paid and unpaid breaks. Notably, time off provided when employees are free to leave the workplace, as well as time off for sick leave, bereavement, or leave of absence, are exempt from this recording requirement. Two sample employee time tracking sheets are provided as templates, which can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business.
