Terms of Employment 2010 Payroll and Employment Standards
Employment is subject to BC Provincial Employment Standards regulations. We understand that employees wish to get as many hours in the short season as possible; with unpredictable weather, we also want to get the cherries picked whenever possible, however this is subject to rain and maturity rates so scheduling may vary at short notice; your co-operation is appreciated. Pay Period We normally pay all earnings at the end of the cherry season (or when an employee leaves) but will pay you an interim advance of up to 80% of your net earnings to date. If you want and advance, please let us know by Thursday afternoon of each week, request an amount large enough to last at least a week or two, and we will issue advances on Fridays. Payroll Deductions You must fill out a Federal and Provincial personal income tax claim form prior to starting work. Please use the address where your T-4 should be sent next January. You must enter your date of birth and social insurance number. Employees with invalid social insurance numbers cannot be employed. Please fill out the TD1 forms out completely and correctly. As you are being set up on computer payroll, we will not reissue cheques at the end of the season for employees who change their minds on their exemptions. Pay Rates Cherry picking rates will be at minimum, paid at $2.25 per full cherry pail. Hourly harvest work will be paid hourly at a minimum of $10.00 per hour or more, depending on work and performance, except as described below under 'Piecework Sorting'. Holiday pay is paid at 4% of gross earnings. Probationary Period All employees have a two day probationary period to determine if they are capable and suited for the job. At any time during that period they may be let go at the end of the day and asked not to return, or offered different work. The decision of the foreman is final regarding any layoffs. Grounds for Dismissal at any time include: Working without care and attention, using drugs or alcohol, irregular attendance, creating problems, being rude or disrespectful, harassing others, damaging property or stealing. Full Season Bonus In appreciation of those who work the full season, the bonus of $0.25 Cents per pail will be paid to all employees who work full time to the end of the season. The bonus does not apply for employees who quit, leave before the end of the season, are laid off for poor performance or irregular attendance. Work Visas Anyone who is not a Canadian citizen or landed emigrant with a valid social insurance number must have a valid work visa for working in Canada that you must show us prior to starting work. Camping All people staying in the camp must register as a camper, and complete their paperwork for employment at the office before commencing work. Tenting in designated spots only. Dirty dished left lying around may be removed from the cookhouse, so WASH UP AND PUT AWAY YOUR STUFF. There are cupboards to share. Label and date your food in the fridge with the masking tape and pen provided. Unlabeled food may be shared by anyone or thrown out. Please limit the space you take up in the fridge so all have a fair share of the space. The campground facilities are provided solely for the convenience of people working here. People may stay as long as they are prepared to co-operate with other campers, keep the place clean and tidy at all times, and respect the peace and quite needed by others. No music or noise after 10:00 pm. If we have any complaints from the neighbors about the camp we may have to shut the camp down and you will have to find your own place to stay. Anyone who is disruptive, does not clean up after themselves, or who is suspected of theft will be asked to leave. NO pets are allowed. Only people registered to work here may use the facilities or camp overnight; please notify us if there are any unfamiliar or unregistered people at the camp.
