aS Prevents Wage Kickbacks New Legislation To Curb _ Cheating by Employers Employers who deceive their workers by giving them wrong information in regard to their wages will be liable to fines of up to $500 under legislation introduced by the Ontario government. Amendments to the Wages Act require each employer to present each employee on every pay day with a state- ‘ment which shows hours worked, rate of wages, gross . wages, number and amount of deductions and net wages received by the employee. Labor Minister Leslie Rowntree said the move was aimed at preventing exploita- tion of immigrant labor in the construction industry and wage kickbacks to employers from men seeking work. Evi- dence of this type of employ- er practice was turned up during hearings of the Gold- enberg Royal Commission into Jabor-management rela- tions in the construction in- dustry.

Both New Democratic and Liberal party members criti- cized the low .level of the minimum and the distinction between male and female rates despite the Ontario Human Rights Code provi- sion of equal pay for equal work. The Toronto Globe and Mail argued in an editorial that it was equally wrong to establish minimum rates of pay by areas. “Variations by areas might have been justi- fied in the early days of this country ... but there is little difference in the cost of liv- ing throughout Ontario today =| = coil can also cause a severe burn or start a fire if the SI = Seal and nowhere will a $1 mini- mum provide more than a bare subsistence,” the paper commented. For several years, the On- tario Federation of Labor has pressed for a province-wide minimum of $1.25 an hour for men and women and a reduc- tion in the maximum work week from 48 to 40 hours. Previous government legisla- tion provided no legal mini- mum wage for men in On- tario while the range for wo- men was from $26 to $30 a week or from 54 to 62% cents an hour based on a 48- hour week. The level of the minimum rate was governed by geographic areas.
