The directors of an insolvent corporation appealed an Order to Pay under the Employment Standards Act, arguing that two senior officers (one of whom was also a director) should not be entitled to recover unpaid wages from the directors because of their senior positions and knowledge of the company's financial situation.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board dismissed the appeal, finding that the plain language of the Act does not exclude senior officers or directors from claiming unpaid wages from the directors of an insolvent corporation.
