The employer applied for a hearing regarding a Review Officer's order directing it to make pay equity adjustments.
The employer's application focused entirely on allegations of bias, malice, and improper conduct by the Review Officer and the Pay Equity Office, rather than the substantive merits of the order.
The Pay Equity Office brought a motion to dismiss the application for failing to make out a prima facie case.
The Tribunal granted the motion, holding that its jurisdiction under the Pay Equity Act is limited to conducting de novo hearings on substantive pay equity disputes, and it has no remedial authority to censure or police the conduct of Review Officers.
