The complainant, a former manager whose position was declared surplus, elected to exit with salary continuance until his retirement.
Following his departure, the employer announced retroactive pay improvements for managers.
The complainant sought these payments but was denied on the basis that he was on a leave of absence pending retirement.
The employer raised a preliminary objection that the Board lacked jurisdiction because the complaint related to pay for performance.
The Board dismissed the preliminary objection, finding that the claimed lump sums and salary adjustments were not linked to performance evaluation.
The Board deferred the determination of the complainant's eligibility under the policies pending further submissions.
