The applicant employee sought review of an Employment Standards Officer's refusal to issue an order to pay for an allegedly unpaid bonus and overtime.
The parties settled the overtime claim during the hearing.
On the bonus claim, the applicant argued the employer's bonus plan, which factored in cash and merchandise shortages, violated the prohibition against set-offs in section 8 of the Employment Standards Act.
The Board dismissed the application, finding that the bonus plan merely established a formula for calculating the bonus pool, rather than making unlawful deductions from wages already owed to individual employees.
