Tim Hortons not paying wages for online training is illegal

I have worked in Tim Hortons for a short period of time. When I received my paycheque, I found that they did not pay for the 14-hour mandatory online training. According to their company policy, an employee must finish the online training to start the in-store training. So I emailed the manager, and was told, “we never pay for online training”. Then, I filed a claim to Ministry of Labour. Several months later, the officer called me and followed up. Recently, I received the paycheque of the deducted wages.From the email response of the manager, I can reasonably assume that they never paid their employees for those online trainings. Now that I have gone through the whole claim process, I want to let other employees know that your online training should also get paid. If they did not pay you, do file a claim with MTO. That is your protected right under Employment Standards Act. via /r/ontario https://ift.tt/hLBfgDQ
