What can my employer take from my pay?Ontario's (ESA) has rules about pay, including what your employer can take.
But not all jobs are covered by the ESA. And, in some cases, only parts of the ESA apply.
Read the Ministry of Labour's Industries and Jobs with Exemptions or Special Rules to find out if your job is covered by the ESA and which parts of the ESA apply.
You can also call the Ministry's Employment Standards Information Centre at 1-800-531-5551. For TTY, call 1-866-567-8893.
