Who knows what the guy was on. | Thats far from what happened but whatever too long of a story. pretty crazy either way especially when the guy crawled out of the truck and took off on foot leaving the 2 ppl pinned and bleading in the car.

good to hear she's alright.

My mom and I were talking about this, because my dad was a firefighter and a policeman. I could never imagine having my dad be on scene if I was in an accident.

40 (1) An employer must pay an employee who works over 8 hours a day, and is not working under an averaging agreement under section 37,
(a) 1 1/2 times the employee’s regular wage for the time over 8 hours, and
(b) double the employee’s regular wage for any time over 12 hours.
(2) An employer must pay an employee who works over 40 hours a week, and is not working under an averaging agreement under section 37, 1 1/2 times the employee’s regular wage for the time over 40 hours.
(3) For the purpose of calculating weekly overtime under subsection (2), only the first 8 hours worked by an employee in each day are counted, no matter how long the employee works on any day of the week.
(4) [Repealed 2002-42-19.]

well this is interesting....I've quit two jobs (3 weeks ago) and I still haven't gotten paid for them
(2) An employer must pay all wages owing to an employee within 6 days after the employee terminates the employment.
time for legal action? grrrr....for a measly 100 bucks between the two of them lol
Edit: thanks for the link

they recently (maybe it was back in 02) redid the overtime payment system. it doesnt make a whole lot of sence anymore.
before, you used to get OT after 8 hours a day, or 40 hours a week. if you worked 40 hours in 2 days, you get paid OT for the rest of the week.
on the other hand, i dont get paid any over time, ever. no matter how much i work.

It's WAY too technical for something that's essential for employees to understand....and tamas working that many hours is nothing, I did 12 hour days with every second weekend off all summer, lol. Where do you work by the way, I don't think I caught that in the other posts.

So i watched wedding crashers today, there's a scene where they're walking through a forest, all wearing cammo of some sort, then they go to a wide shot and there's a guy in like a blue shirt hiding behind a tree on the right side of the screen...damn editors.
