Pioneer Youth Services (Toronto) Inc. v. Ontario Public Service Employees Union, 2002 CanLII 49451

Operator of licensed children's residences is a public sector employer under the Pay Equity Act.

The Applicant, a private per diem operator of children's residences, applied to rescind a Review Officer's Order declaring it a 'seeking employer' under the Pay Equity Act.

The Applicant argued it was a private sector employer.

The Tribunal found that because the Applicant operates its residences under licences issued under the Child and Family Services Act, it falls squarely within the definition of a public sector employer in the Schedule to the Pay Equity Act.

The application was dismissed and the Order confirmed.
