The complainants, Operational Managers, filed grievances alleging unauthorized pay deductions in breach of a prior settlement.

The employer brought a motion to dismiss the complaints as moot, arguing that the complainants had since been paid for the dates worked and the parties agreed on the application of the settlement's procedural provisions.

The Board applied the Borowski test for mootness and found that the underlying dispute regarding pay and policy claims had been resolved.

The Board declined to award damages or costs, finding no basis for such remedies, and terminated the proceedings.
