The applicant union referred a grievance to the Ontario Labour Relations Board under section 133 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995, alleging that the responding employer failed to remit proper benefit contributions and vacation pay as required by the collective agreement.
The responding party failed to file a Request for Hearing and Notice of Intent to Defend within the required time limits.
Pursuant to the Board's Rules of Procedure, the responding party was deemed to have accepted all facts stated in the application.
The Board cancelled the scheduled hearing, found the employer liable for the unpaid amounts, and ordered the employer to pay $25,687.87 in damages plus $214.00 in filing fees.
