My wife worked at a small town bar in Alberta Canada for the last 10 months. Over that time the owners were rude, and on top of that most times she worked the closing shift. She would balance her tills but many times the owners would message in the morning saying they recounted and she was short money. Sometimes $2, sometimes $30 or $40. Brings us to the 15th of June ( payday). She recieved her paystub just to see a deduction of $39 to cover a till short from her previous shift. Here in Alberta any deductions like that are illegal. Wife texts boss and informs her of such. No response from the boss. 2 days later wife goes to her next shift just to be told things aren't working out and go home. At the same time was handed a final paycheck and severance check. We went through all her paystubs and have found where she has been deducted money twice before also. We have talked to the labour board and have verified that garnishing wages is a huge no no but also she is owed 3 hours wages since they made her show up for her shift to fire her.
I'm curious if any other servers in Alberta have had problems like this as well as have a few other questions.
