The applicant employer sought to revoke a Review Officer's Order finding it had failed to maintain pay equity for non-bargaining unit employees.
The employer argued that any differences in compensation were justified by differences in bargaining strength under s. 8(2) of the Pay Equity Act, that changed circumstances made the plan inappropriate, and that it was misled by a previous Review Officer's letter.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the employer failed to prove the factual basis for the bargaining strength exception, that changed circumstances do not justify a past failure to maintain pay equity, and that the letter did not constitute an officially-induced error.
