Payment of wages – direct deposit

The ESA needs companies to pay salaries by cash, cheque or direct deposit. If the wages are paid by direct deposit, the account should be in the worker’s name and nobody other than the employee can have access to the account, unless the worker has actually licensed it.

Effective June 21, 2024, an additional requirement will remain in place if the employer desires to pay wages by direct deposit: the account needs to be chosen by the worker. This means the staff member should choose which account to use and the employer can not restrict an employee’s area by, for example, requiring the employee to utilize an account at a particular banks.

For payments that are to be made after June 20, 2024, a worker deserves to select the account where their incomes are to be transferred.

– money

– cheque

– direct deposit

If payment is by money or cheque, the worker must be paid the tips or other gratuities at the workplace or at some other place agreed to digitally or in writing by the employee.

If payment is made by direct deposit, the account must be picked by the employee and employment be in the employee’s name. Nobody aside from the staff member can have access to the account, unless the employee has authorized it.

The requirement that the staff member select the account implies the worker should choose which account to utilize, and the company can not restrict an employee’s choice by, for instance, requiring the worker to utilize an account at a specific banks.

For payments that are to be made after June 20, 2024, a staff member has the right to pick the account where their tips are to be deposited. If a company previously restricted a worker’s account choice – for instance, by requiring them to use an account at a particular financial institution – it is the employer’s obligation to validate the employee’s choice of their preferred account before they make the next payment after June 20, 2024. A worker can also notify their employer that they want their pointers deposited to a different account and, when that happens, the company should make the change.

Tips sharing policy

The ESA permits companies, in addition to directors and investors of an employer, to share in suggestions, if specified criteria are fulfilled.

The requirement to post a policy does not require an employer to establish a policy. It uses if an employer has a written policy in place or if a company has a recognized practice of sharing in a tip pool that is regularly used (even if it’s not written down). If the employer has an unwritten but recognized, consistently-applied practice in place, the company should put the policy in writing and publish a copy of the policy.

The ESA does not define the details that must appear in the policy, as long as the posted file is a real copy of the policy that is in place and plainly states that the company or a director or investor of the company shares in the idea swimming pool.

Effective, June 21, 2024, companies will also be required to keep a copy of every tips sharing policy that is needed to be posted for 3 years after the policy stops being in result.
