Order to Pay amended for identified complainants; Board criticizes Ministry practice of anonymous complaints.
The employer appealed an Order to Pay issued by an Employment Standards Officer on the basis that the complainants were anonymous, preventing the employer from knowing the case it had to meet.
After the Board ordered the complainants to identify themselves, three employees came forward.
The employer withdrew its appeal regarding those three employees and agreed to pay them.
The Board amended the Order to Pay to reflect the net amounts owed after statutory deductions and ordered the remaining funds held in trust to be returned to the employer.
The Vice-Chair also noted that issuing Orders to Pay for anonymous complainants violates natural justice.
