Well they don't exactly allow it, but if I didn't I wouldn't have much to do but stare at the wall, since I work in a low traffic location. And this situation is more of the straw breaking the camel's back so to speak. They've done other stuff that's made me and a couple other employees angry, like scheduling people for 16 hour days but just paying them regular time. I understand that the economy is probably making them cut costs somewhere, but I know how they charge locations and know that they charge my wage to the location i'm working at. I probably won't fight them too much, but don't think it's right that they are deducting my pay for something the law states i should be getting paid for.
TVP2003 thanks for the clarifcation on the difference between labour law and employment law, I double checked and it was stated in the employment standards act.
