The applicant employer applied for a review of an Order to Pay under the Employment Standards Act.
At the hearing, the employer's counsel requested an adjournment because its witnesses were unavailable, some being out of the country.
The Board denied the adjournment request, noting that travel plans do not constitute extraordinary circumstances and the employer attended unprepared at its peril.
As the employer proffered no evidence to meet its onus, the application was dismissed and the Order to Pay was confirmed.
