Does your employer pay you with a bank card?

CRA is investigating claims that employers who pay their employees with bank or “debit cards” are charging and deducting fees in connection with the use of those cards. This is tremendously unfair to employees, because, under the law, they should not have their wages deducted for “service fees” or other bogus charges. Under state and federal law, an employee deserves to take home all money they earn from the job. If any amount–even a few cents–is deducted because the employer chooses to use a bank card to pay their employees, this very well might be illegal. We want to hear from you if this happened to you.
