B.C labour law and cheap company help
I was wondering if anyone knew much about the B.C labour laws. Don't want to release too much information on it, cause I am thinking about going to local goverment labour branch. In short they are deducting my pay for meal breaks, and after reading the labour laws on meal breaks, theres a statement that says that employees who have to be available for work during meal breaks have to be paid during it. My work requires me to be available throughout my shift, and there's been numerous times i've had my meal break interupted since something comes up and have to start working. The company seems to have decided to cheap out on lower level employees and it's made me a little angry, considering i've done alot of work for them that's been outside the job description. I would quit but the job does allow me alot of time to study and do assignments so it's been a major benefit, but now that they've tried to become cheap on me, I'm not sure how long i'm going to stay. But I do want the pay they've deducted (illegally from my understanding) back and won't be leaving the company unless I find another job which might be awhile. I also want to make sure I'm understanding the law on meal breaks correct.
Thanks
