Request to add a claimant to an employment standards application denied due to delay and prejudice.
The applicant requested to add another claimant to the list of individuals it represents in an employment standards matter.
The Adjudicator/Referee denied the request, noting that the application was filed years ago, the deadline to advise of names had long passed, and adding a new claimant would require the responding parties to conduct further document searches, causing expense and inconvenience.
A Labour Relations Officer was appointed to attempt settlement.
