Grievance dismissed; Board lacks jurisdiction to hear wrongful dismissal grievance of probationary employee.
The grievor, a probationary employee, was released from her employment pursuant to s. 22(5) of the Public Service Act.
She filed a grievance alleging wrongful dismissal.
The employer raised a preliminary objection that the Public Service Grievance Board lacked jurisdiction to hear the grievance because the grievor was released during her first year of employment.
The Board held that it lacked jurisdiction to deal with the grievance of a probationary employee released under s. 22(5) of the Act, as such employees are excluded by s. 42(1) of Regulation 881.
The grievance was dismissed.
