    Lol! So this won’t get to OP, but if you’re ever in this position, call their bluff and submit something to the labour board.

    Even if you don’t win, if this is a corporation the company is going to HATE the manager just for being put in that position.

    Even if it’s privately owned, no owner wants to be put in that position.

      They were doing some sketchy BS last week and I told her she needs to submit complaints to the labor board and the safety board. She doesn’t want to go through all that, which I understand but it lets them keep doing illegal stuff.

        Maybe try telling her that she’ll be helping anyone else who is in her position or will be in her position in the future. She can help prevent them from victimizing someone else.

        From what i understand it’s not a very involved process. Not like you have to go to court and all that. File a complaint, give your side, they investigate.

        If the labor board finds wrongdoing, the worker could be rewarded 2-3x what the lost wages were, and the company gets put on shitlist somewhere.

        I am far from an expert, but i do frequent workers rights spaces for what it’s worth (nearly nothing).

      Situations like this are simple.

      Employee: I haven’t been compensated properly

      Employer: Usually some sort of bs.

      Employee: I’ll let the labour board decide who is right.

      It’s usually the end of it, as nobody want the headache. Because I work in construction the other go to is “should we call health and safety?” Puts an end to all shenanigans immediately.
