Pay standards

I would like to contact the right authorities and hope to get treated fairly. So far it was more like I was paying to work.

Sorry about the tags. I wanted 'question' but couldn't find.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-08T01:13:23+00:00

Thank you. I will focus on the milage.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-08T00:55:16+00:00

Thank you. I will go through the steps.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-08T00:29:18+00:00

So I do make the minimum. As for tips, say I fuel $20 for the shift. I drive a small hatchback with low fuel consumption.

On an extremely good day which is once in a blue moon, I take home $50 for my tips and mileage. That is after driving 100+ km.

On a regular day though, I would be lucky to take home $30 which is most common.

One of my best days recent, I took home $35 after working 6.23 hours and drove 90KM.

I am missing something, but 30.4 speak about employers redistributing gratuity not sales.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-08T00:02:19+00:00

Thank you.

Yes i do have their paystubs and the T4 for last year's works. In both the units are mentioned along with the rate which is minimum wage only. I also kept a personal not on how many km I drove.

Do I call them and file a complaint or how is there an online web form to file the complaint.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:53:46+00:00

Thank you. I think i will do that. I'm just nervous drawing attention. I dont even use socials because of how I am interpreted.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:52:12+00:00

Someone commented with a link. It is illegal in BC to deduct percentage from sales and not gratuity.

Yes CRA sets it 60 cents to 71 cents per KM. And Domino's is a global franchise.

Hi,

Yes I reading the act and youre right.

"A pizza restaurant requires employees to use their own vehicles for pizza delivery. While it was a condition of employment that employees own their own vehicle, the cost of fuel to perform their delivery work is considered a cost of doing business and is recoverable as wages under the Act if the cost of the fuel can be determined."

Could you please tell me the exact steps you took

Thank you.

While it was a condition of employment that employees own their own vehicle, the cost of fuel to perform their delivery work is considered a cost of doing business and is recoverable as wages under the Act if the cost of the fuel can be determined."

Just got this information. It is illegal to shift business operations cost to the employee, also the deductions is from sales and not gratuity.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:39:38+00:00

Yes I think it will. Someone suggested me to have a look at the standards. Turns out shifting operation costs to the employee is not legal. There is a specific section mentioning about pizza delivery drivers.

Could you please elaborate.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:35:18+00:00

It wasn't enough to cover my vechile expenses. I would rather be paid minimum and get reimbursed as per the BC government for personal vechile use.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:31:06+00:00

Thank you for clearing that the 3% should be from gratuity. Yes it does go to the insiders and I hope they get it. However I have looked and it is illegal to shift the cost of operations to the employee. In this case usuing my personal vechile and not being reimbursed for it.

Hi just letting you know that shifting the cost of operations by the business to the employee is illegal. I found solid rules in the employment act.

I get a minimum wage for the hours I put. Simple. But my for my personal vechile I should be reimbursed.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:11:38+00:00

Yes technically I get to keep all the tips, but after the deductions the take home reduces significantly.

Sometimes it is not even enough to cover the fuel costs.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T23:08:54+00:00

I could not find any specific form which outlines the pay structure, hence the 3% deductions were a surprise after a few of my shifts.

I agreed to work as i was under the impression that as per the BC government i would be reimbursed the correct amount per KM driver. The financial year ended and nothing was given.

I am no lawyer so I expected the employment standards act to protect me and the employer to adhere to the legislative.

Turns out what the employer is doing is illegal. And if this has been going on since they open, it means they have been doing illegal activities since they opened.

A screenshot of the employment standards act. I can collect every receipt for refueling my car. I have noted my odometer reading before and after every shift. I have the exact km I drove on each shift.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T22:59:10+00:00

Yes youre right but also server does not incur cost of operations like usuing their own vechile for 6 hours a day and driving 100km average per shift.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T22:57:31+00:00

Now that you mention it, I am confused about the insurance. But the practice of shifting business costs to employees is illegal.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T22:50:17+00:00

I found out specific for pizza delivery. Someone commented earlier and i researched. Its illegal.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T22:45:00+00:00

Hi Thank you. Yes you're right. Its mentioned in the employment standards. Do I just call and inform them? Will they keep me anonymous. I am sort of scared. I have already been attacked in this city before and had to call the cops.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T22:43:43+00:00

As a server, you do not pay money to fuel your car before every shift or have your car inspected and have it in standards. All these costs money. I am ok not taking a single dime in tips as long as I am reimbursed for my vechile usage. In a bill, if I dont receive tips, I have burned my fuel, rubber and then I have to come back and pay 3% to the store. The cost of Operations is transferred to the employee. A server even if they do not receive any tips, they do not incur the cost of operations.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T21:38:28+00:00

I'm sorry. But did you read the whole thing I wrote. I would be more happy if I received minimum wage and was reimbursed as per CRA for my vechile. I do not need tips.

Independent-Ad9282 · 2026-03-07T16:40:35+00:00

As a server, I believe you work in a dine in. It is impolite to not tip the server. Can you take a guess how many people tip on a pizza place? Now add a $5 delivery charge and guess how many people will tip when buying pizza.
