Hi there, I’m Melody. I am a laidback gal who spends my time at the shelter cocooned in a plush cat bed. I don’t much care for the winter chill; I am content to stay in the welcoming warmth of the great indoors! I feel most secure on my perch, where I can safely observe my surroundings. Don’t get me wrong: if you approach me with offerings of cheek rubs and gentle nuzzles, you’ll be rewarded with an instant purr — I’m just not really the most forward gal. When I am not chilling, you can get me outta bed with laser lights for playtime. I have a perfect sweet tortie face, and a demure temperament to match. Come meet me; I am ready for my forever home!

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
