A Review Officer referred a matter to the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal under subsection 24(5) of the Pay Equity Act, 1987, alleging that neither the Senior Officers' Association nor the Board of Commissioners of Police had complied with an order to compare female and male job classes.
As neither party had made an application to the Tribunal, the Tribunal requested written submissions on several procedural and substantive issues, including whether the Tribunal's Rules of Practice applied and whether the matter was properly before the Tribunal.
