The applicant, a housekeeper, alleged she was terminated because of her pregnancy contrary to the Human Rights Code.

The respondents maintained that the applicant voluntarily resigned after taking time off for illness related to her pregnancy.

The Tribunal found that the respondents did not terminate the applicant's employment, noting that the parties continued to act as though the employment relationship existed until the applicant requested her Record of Employment.

The application was dismissed as the applicant failed to prove she experienced adverse treatment.

The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment.

At the hearing, the respondent indicated that the named respondent, Mary-Am Group, was not a registered corporate entity.

The applicant brought a request for an order during proceedings to remove Mary-Am Group and add three interconnected corporations as respondents.

Applying the common employer doctrine, the Tribunal found sufficient interconnectedness among the proposed respondents to support a potential finding of liability.

The Tribunal granted the request, removing the non-legal entity and adding the three corporations as respondents.
