Do you think there are four Victoria Secret models as a sign of the Brapocalypse?

As of yesterday there are four, count them, four members of the "old" staff still remaining at La Senza. Myself, L, Lisa, and Steph.

The story as I've heard it, Mal, D, and Rhonda all had their pay cut and keys taken away for a variety of reasons. A quick glance at the Employment Standards board reveals this:

"If an employer intends to reduce an employee's wage rate, overtime rate, general holiday pay, vacation pay or termination pay, the employee must be notified before the start of the pay period in which the reduction is to take effect. However, these rates must always be at least the minimum required by the legislated standards."

So that's one more illegal thing courtesy of La Senza.

Further more:
"There are some deductions that are not allowed, even with a written authorization from the employee. You cannot take deductions for faulty workmanship. Also, you may not deduct for cash shortages or loss of property where more than one person has access to the cash or property."

D was accused of stealing (without any evidence) which is why her keys were taken. This may or may not apply here...

If anyone knows anything else about wage deductions, let me know. This shit is going down soon. May is on to me, I was getting dirty scowls all day.

Bring it on.
