danco transport

[monzaman1975]

I'm trying to find a way to recover wages owed from Danco Transport.

It has been 40 days since I left employment for this company due to unfit trucks, trailers and unlawful expectations. I have contacted the labour board but have been informed this may take up to two years.

Any help would be great - thanks.

Why are you no longer there? Have you handed in all logs and paperwork from your runs? Did you damage anything that was your fault? Those last two reasons may be why they're holding pay that I can think of.

Seems like a very long time for labour board to me. I would continue on that course of action as it is the cheapest and usually quicker way to go than litigation.

If he is a driver there is no reason you can hold his pay. It doesn't matter if he killed the Pope according to the labor board - just pay him!!

Agreed. I'm just thinking of some of the reasons that a carrier might "justify" holding a paycheque. I know one company that would hold pay for drivers that didn't hand in load paperwork and proof they cleared the border.

Although that would make for interesting reading on a driver's runsheet:

"08:00 pre-trip inspection
09:00 fuel
09:35 sideswiped Popemobile in motorcade
10:25 arrived at shipper..."

Over here in the swamp

There is absolutly no valid reason to hold an employees wages. Nor can you deduct monies owing to the firm from the employee's 4% .

The gentelman in question may have been an incorporated driver or owner operator. That of course is a completly different story.

Although you may sue an employee personally for negligence.

Same here Alx. Many companies do and unfortunately people do not check and find out their rights with labour board. As well you are paying for them with your taxes - might as well use their services.

Keswick Danco?

First of all, my first impression of this was the following: ALWAYS 2 SIDES TO A STORY:

1. The "company" as in DANCO if running a legitimate "company" would legally understand the ramifications if they were holding "payroll" for an "employee".

2. The "company" as in DANCO if they were paying this "person" as in MONZAMAN1975 to their "established company" and not making deductions to the government then should not have been doing so in the first place, unless MONZAMAN1975 is an owner operator, meaing actually owns a truck with their own WSIB, GHST/HST # etc....

3. So depending on the situation, both parties could be at risk, especially if no contracts were signed by either party and again depending on the actual relationship.

4. Solution to these types of situations: as a "Carrier" refuse to entertain to pay a non owner opertor as a "Company"...this way no matter what the situation is both parties are covered!

It's so easy.
