The applicants filed an application under the Pay Equity Act.

The Tribunal noted that the applicants failed to provide the respondent hospital with their submissions.

The Tribunal directed the applicants to serve the submissions forthwith and reminded them of their obligation to copy all parties on correspondence filed with the Tribunal.

The respondent employer requested that the Tribunal dismiss the applicants' Pay Equity Act application on a prima facie basis.

The applicants alleged that the employer and union failed to consider certain admitting and switchboard duties added to their ER Clerk classification during job evaluation.

The Tribunal declined to dismiss the application, finding that the applicants sufficiently pleaded that the evaluation system unreasonably excluded important job information related to the four statutory criteria under section 5 of the Act.

The applicants, ER Clerks, alleged that their position was not accurately evaluated under the Pay Equity Plan.

The employer requested that the application be dismissed on a prima facie basis.

The Tribunal found that the application lacked particulars regarding the job evaluation and the alleged new duties.

The Tribunal directed the applicants to provide a clear and concise statement of facts and events by a specified date, failing which the application may be dismissed.
