PET OF THE WEEK
Lily Hey there! My name is Lily and I am an energetic gal looking for a family that will take an older-ish gal like myself. I still have plenty of life to live and I am ready to start that with my new family. I am still learning my proper doggie manners, so a home with me being the only doggie in the home would be great for me. Don’t you worry though, I have more than enough love to give. I am a tad unsure of new situations and the small hoomans can be a bit overwhelming for me, but I think the teenage kind could be more demographic. I am beyond excited to attend “Polite Pooches” with my new family. We can get this life of our started on the right paw and create new memories together. I think I am pretty easy going and if you do too, then come on down and we can chat about all the new memories we will be experiencing together!
Reference Number: A23991352 Name: Lily
Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
Age: 6 years Sex: Spayed Female Species: Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier X Mastiff Color: Black & White

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: My employer demands that we pay for beer shortages at the restaurant where I work. We pay three dollars for every bottle that is not accounted for. Is this legal? Signed, Steamed Server Dear Steamed: No, your employer likely cannot ask you to pay for the missing beer. Alberta’s Employment Standards Code allows certain deductions to be made from your earnings.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Allowable deductions include: Income Tax, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance and Alberta Health Care premiums, as well as deductions resulting from a court judgment or order. If your employer wants to make other deductions from your paycheck, they must get your written permission. Examples could include company pension plans, dental plans, personal charges to company credit cards, and so on. Usually these deductions are discussed and permissions are provided before the employee starts their job. Alberta Employment Standards prohibits employers from taking deductions from an employee’s earnings for cash shortages or lost property if any individual other than the employee had access to the cash or property (e.g., beer). This could include customers, other employees, administrative staff, supervisors or owners. It may be difficult to find a time when only one person has exclusive access to the cash or property. The only way your employer can deduct money from your paycheck for shortages is if: • They can show that you were the only person with access to the property; and • You give them written authorization prior to the deduction. There are some deductions that are not allowed even with written authorization from the employee. Employers can not take deductions for faulty workmanship. Faulty workmanship can include things like accidental damage to an employer’s equipment, a “walkout” in a bar, a gas station “pump & dash”, broken dishes in a restaurant or mistakes in production. Of course, some restaurant and bar owners might get around Employment Standards by taking the shortages out of your tips. Tips are not covered under Employment Standards. Beer shortages could indicate some other issues that might require further investigation. Your restaurant may need better security and staff training to prevent losses. For more information on what employers are allowed and not allowed to deduct from your paycheck, read the Paycheck Deductions fact sheet at: http://work.alberta.ca/documents/Deductions-from-Earnings.pdf If you have more questions about your situation, call the toll-free Alberta Employment Standards Contact Centre at: 1 877 427 3731. If you would like information on how to file an Employment Standards complaint, visit: http://work.alberta.ca/es. Good luck! MY JOB FINDER ALBERTA JOB OPPORTUNITIES 15
