The applicant filed a human rights application alleging discrimination in employment based on disability and age after she retired at age 65.
She claimed she was forced to retire, denied a severance package, and denied dental and long-term disability insurance coverage post-retirement.
The Tribunal held a summary hearing and dismissed the application, finding no reasonable prospect of success.
The applicant admitted she voluntarily retired to receive pension income and that retirement allowances were only offered for early retirement under the collective agreement.
Furthermore, the Tribunal found that the cessation of benefit plan coverage at age 65 complies with the Employment Standards Act and the Human Rights Code.
