Hi there
We are wondering if we are legally allowed to have an English only (spoken) in the workplace policy. Mostly for inclusion and safety reasons. We have had issues in the past when people think they are being spoken about in another language. Also if there is a safety or other concern all people should know about it and hear about it.

Thanks

Hi Glenn,
After further research and conversation with my team – I have inevitably put us in the wrong code. Our organization actually belongs under
541514 Computer systems design and related services (except video game design and development). Class: L. Coverage: Non-mandatory.

I do appreciate your assistance.

Here we go. From our payroll expert. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.

1. No. an employee can forfeit the time, but not the pay, if vacation time is taken. Once earned, vacation pay can not be reduced other than by payment to the employee.
2. Time and attendance systems are often configured to entitle an employee to PDOs at the start of each year, and then track the usage as employees take time off. Some employers carry this forward to payroll where taking paid sick time reduces the regular hours on the pay stub, with the PDO hours showing on a separate line. As well, the pay statement might be configured to show the remaining PDO time available.
