Ontario, Canada Here in the US, it’s always been weekly pay There is no required pay frequency. I haven’t personally been paid monthly, but it is allowed.. I don’t think they ever had an issue with employers refusing to pay over here. Trial shifts are a thing here, especially for service or kitchen jobs. It’s illegal, but many people don’t know their rights. I’ve had problem try to not pay me after I quit. I had to take them to the labour board. How often do you read about people being asked to clock out before they leave? Or only getting paid as long as re store is open and having to clean after? I feel like that’s a very common In China, my mom told me that sometimes they delay your pay for like a few days to sometimes even almost a month late… like its routine… I’ve been paid late in Ontario. I’ve known people who had pay cuts because the company was t doing well. There’s no such thing as the 1.5x bonus for time over 40 hours in China… I’m an engineer. As such, I am not covered by the employment standards act and my employer is not obligated to pay me to for overtime. Sometimes they have performance-based bonus pay. Like for example: my mom worked in electronics sales (think a sort of “Best Buy” type of thing) and like get commissions for making more sales… that type of stuff… That’s not uncommon at all. Some jobs are 100% commission. Nothing to described is unheard of in Canada/the States. I’m kind of waiting for the “SIKE I WAS DESCRIBING THE US ALL ALONG” but figured I’d comment in case it was useful to anyone.
