HEARING
April 30, 2021
Decision
1The parties entered into Minutes of Settlement, dated January 13, 2021, which the Union alleges were breached by the Employer.
2Having heard the submissions of the parties, I make the following Order:
The T4 to be issued by the Employer to the Grievor for 2021 will not include the amount of $8341 that it paid for 2019 vacation credits, if the Grievor fully repays this amount by July 1, 2021.
For clarity, to repay these funds, the Grievor must send a cheque by July 1, 2021, payable to the Minister of Finance, to the following address:
Pay and Benefits Services Division |
Ministry of Government Services
189 Red River Road Suite 301
Thunder Bay, ON P7B 1A2
Att: Tracy Anthony
- The Employer will pay the Grievor for his accumulated vacation credits for 2019, 2020 and 2021, at the appropriate rate of pay, between January 1 and March 31, 2022. For greater certainty, the Grievor’s vacation entitlement equals 81.78 credits.
4The parties have agreed that I will retain jurisdiction in the event that an issue arises with respect to the implementation or interpretation of this Order or the terms of the Minutes of Settlement.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 3rd day of May, 2021.
