Accounting 101 of the Dhallas

The calculation made is based on the documents submitted by Neil Dhalla which can be viewed in pdf file posted in Toronto Star website, click here.

On the LMO form submitted by Neil Dhalla, as Mary Richelyn Tongson’s employer, he indicated that that the hourly rate for Tongson will be $9.25.

Reasonably, since Tongson was a live-in caregiver the Dhallas are allowed to deduct from her pay Room and Board on what was stated as $ 369.42.

So let’s do the math.

Assuming Tongson only worked 8 hours a day:

$ 9.25/ hour x 8 hours = $ 74.00/day

Again, assuming she only worked 5 days:

$ 74.00/day x 5 days = $ 370.00/wk

As per the payment given to Tongson for the month of May, the total was $1000.00 .

However, for the month of May there are four weeks and two days that Tongson must have worked, May 1-2, 5-9, 12-16, 19-23, 26-31. Thus,

May 1 - 2 ........................................ $ 148.00
May 5 - 9 ........................................... 370.00
May 12 - 16 ....................................... 370.00
May 19 - 23 ....................................... 370.00
May 26 - 31 ....................................... 370.00
------------------------------------------------------------
Total pay for the month of May $ 1,628.00 (Supposed to be)

Actual Payment made in the month of May is $ 1,000.00 . Thus, there is $ 628.00 unaccounted for so far.

Subtracting the R & B $ 369.42, we then have $ 258.58 unaccounted for.

Questions that must be answered then are:

1. Did the Dhallas pay for Tongson's Health Insurance? EI? CPP? Tax? Is the total amounted to $ 258.58? If not, then how much and where is the proof?

2. Did Tongson pay her Health Insurance? EI? CPP? Tax?
