Document Summary
Chapter 21 - regulating wages and pay equity. Most common forms of wage regulation today focus on protecting a wage floor and addressing gender wage discrimination. Canadian governments have demonstrated little confidence that unregulated labour markets will produce acceptable wage levels. The scope of wage regulation: wage regulation applies to employment contracts. Gov"t generally do not regulate the price at which independent contractors sell their service: many ee are excluded from wage regulation. This can apply to an entire occupation or to a specific job: wage laws vary by occupation. Some occupations may be entitled to higher/lower than the standard rate. E. g. homeworker = ee who performs work from home for er (er should fund expenses) Tipping out = the practice by some restaurant/bar er of collecting a portion of server"s tips and dividing the tip pool among other ee. Piecework pay = wages calculated based on the number of pieces produced by ee.
