Order to pay termination pay affirmed; employer failed to prove wilful misconduct and sale of business provisions applied.

The applicant employer sought review of an Order to Pay eight weeks' termination pay to a former bartender.

The employer argued that the employee was terminated for wilful misconduct (over serving customers and poor attitude) and that the sale of business provisions did not apply due to a two-day break in service before the applicant purchased the tavern.

The Board found that the employer failed to prove wilful misconduct, as no clear warnings were given and the conduct was not intentional or reckless.

Furthermore, the Board held that the sale of business provisions under section 13(2) of the Employment Standards Act applied despite the brief break in service, deeming the employee's employment continuous.

The Order to Pay was affirmed.

Layoff became indefinite when employer indicated recall date was 'unknown' on Record of Employment.

The applicant employer sought a review of an Order to Pay termination pay to a former employee.

The employer argued the employee was temporarily laid off and failed to return upon recall.

The Board found that because the employer indicated the recall date was 'unknown' on the Record of Employment, the layoff became an indefinite layoff under the Employment Standards Act.

The employee was therefore entitled to treat the layoff as a termination.

The Order to Pay was affirmed.
