The Board ordered the responding parties to pay $48,944.75 in unpaid remittances and $749.00 in fees.

The applicant employer appealed an Employment Standards Officer's order to pay termination pay to a former employee.

The employer argued that the employee's unauthorized use of the company fax machine for personal faxes amounted to theft and constituted 'wilful misconduct' under s. 57(10)(c) of the Employment Standards Act, thereby exempting the employer from the obligation to pay termination pay.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the appeal, finding that the two minor, isolated incidents of sending personal faxes did not amount to wilful misconduct and that the penalty of discharge was disproportionate.

The applicant filed a duty of fair representation complaint against her union regarding its handling of her workplace accommodation in 1994 and 1995.

The union brought a preliminary motion to dismiss the application for undue delay, noting the applicant waited 18 months after the Ontario Human Rights Commission declined to hear her related complaint on the basis that it belonged before the Labour Relations Board.

The Board granted the union's motion and dismissed the application, finding the 18-month delay was substantial, the applicant's reliance on her former counsel's advice was not a satisfactory explanation, and the union would be significantly prejudiced in defending against allegations concerning events from six years prior.

The applicant requested to withdraw the matter.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board granted leave to withdraw the application.

The applicant appealed an Employment Standards Officer's refusal to issue an Order to Pay for a minimum wage claim.

The Officer denied the claim because it was filed beyond the six-month recovery period under the Employment Standards Act.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the applicant's claim was received by the Ministry of Labour more than six months after the monies would have become due.

The Board rejected the applicant's argument that he was misdirected by Ministry personnel, noting that an Employment Standards Officer cannot overturn the Act.
