The applicant filed a human rights application alleging sex discrimination and reprisal regarding her wages and subsequent termination.
The respondents requested the application be dismissed under section 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the issues had already been decided in an Employment Standards Act (ESA) proceeding.
The Tribunal found that the Employment Standards Officer had substantively addressed the allegations of discrimination and reprisal in dismissing the ESA claim.
Concluding that the substance of the application was appropriately dealt with in the other proceeding, the Tribunal exercised its discretion to dismiss the human rights application.
