The applicant union referred a construction industry grievance to the Board, alleging the employer failed to remit contributions to various benefit funds.
The employer admitted liability for $11,390.06 but failed to attend the hearing.
The Board ordered the employer to pay the outstanding remittances plus interest.
The union also sought an order against a director of the employer under the Employment Standards Act, arguing the unpaid contributions constituted wages.
The Board dismissed the claim against the director, finding that benefit plan contributions are excluded from the definition of wages under the Act.
