Permanent Full Time position but paid hourly rates

[travel2Canada]

I accepted offer letter which mentioned,
- "Permanent Full Time position",
- You will be paid a base salary in bi-weekly installments, which when annualized is equivalent to
gross $XYZ per year.
And benefits includes
1. An employee will be entitled to company paid time-off of 3 Weeks of paid vacation per year.
2. Ten (10) Company paid Holidays.

Would it mean
- The 3 weeks paid vacation and Statutory company holidays is inclusive of $XYZ?
- My employer is deducting the hourly billing If I don't work . I was shocked because the offer mentions "Permanent Full time position" and no where mentioned about hourly billing . My employer is any agency who have deployed me in the Client office..

Is it quite normal in Canada or I'm being cheated ? Appreciate your advice , I'm thinking of legal battle too..

Thanks

Yes - the 3 weeks vacation and holidays are inclusive of the $XYZ. This is standard.

I don't understand what you mean by 'my employer is deducting the hourly billing if I don't work'.

So are you paid by the agency or the employer/client ?

Only guessing and maybe talking nonsense but as I understand it an agency charges an employer for providing staff and if a regular agreement out of that they take their cut and pay the employee they provided with what is left. If the latter does not show at any time then maybe the employer deducts that from the agency fee and the agency passes that down to the employee.

As said I am only guessing but if the agency is your employer obviously something you need to take up with them
