An employer must pay all wages to an employee:
- in Canadian currency;
- by cheque drawn on a bank, credit union or trust corporation; or
- by deposit to the employee's account in a bank, credit union or trust corporation.
Electronic Payroll Management Systems
Employers who provide electronic pay statements must provide printed copies to employees who request it or allow those employees to print off a copy.
Unrecorded Payments
Unless the employer can show otherwise, wages and other amounts that are not shown on the statement of earnings or in payroll records are considered not to have been paid.
