May the employer hold back wages when an employee terminates employment without giving notice?
A. Only if the employee gives consent to the employer allowing the employer to withhold the correct amount of wages in lieu of notice. If the employee does not agree, then the employer is required to deposit the amount of the wages in question into the Unpaid Wages Account and the Director of Labour Standards will determine the issue in accordance with the Labour Standards Act.
