Full-time students are not eligible for coverage. When an employer becomes aware that an employee will lose eligibility, the employer must advise the employee, in writing, of the loss of eligibility. Except for drug plans, an employer can provide plans to part-time employees based on employee only coverage, without coverage for spouses and dependents. The contributions must be paid in the same way as the payments from full-time employees, and be proportional to the level of benefits received. Payroll Administration Employees not paid on a monthly salary must be paid at least twice per month.
Payment is due six days after the end of the pay period.
Employees must be paid in full by 14 days after their last day of work. The statement of earnings must be separate from the wage cheque. Items such as cash shortages and broken or damaged goods cannot be deducted unless the employer obtains a court judgement. The amounts paid as public and annual holiday pay must be identified separately from the regular wages. If this is not done, the annual holiday pay and public holiday pay is considered not to have been paid, unless the employee is given a written statement at least once every 13 weeks showing the amount of annual and public holiday pay paid during each pay period.
