Section 254.1 — Canada Labour Code: General rule

No employer shall make deductions from wages or other amounts due to an employee, except as permitted by or under this section. The permitted deductions are those required by a federal or provincial Act or regulations made thereunder; those authorized by a court order or a collective agreement or other document signed by a trade union on behalf of the employee; amounts authorized in writing by the employee; overpayments of wages by the employer; and other amounts prescribed by regulation. Notwithstanding paragraph (2)(c), no employer shall, pursuant to that paragraph, make a deduction in respect of damage to property, or loss of money or property, if any person other than the employee had access to the property or money in question. The Governor in Council may make regulations prescribing: deductions that an employer is permitted to make in addition to those permitted by this section; and the manner in which the deductions permitted by this section may be made by the employer.
