OPEHT 2010

The applicant filed a complaint under the Pay Equity Act regarding a Review Officer's failure to make an order against the employer concerning job evaluation and the male wage line.

The employer brought a motion to dismiss the application without further inquiry, arguing it failed to state a prima facie case.

The Tribunal dismissed the motion, holding that the applicant's factual assertions, if assumed true, could reasonably result in relief under the Act.

The matter was directed to proceed to a hearing on the merits.

The Employer applied to the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal to set aside a Review Officer's Order finding its 1995 Pay Equity Plan non-compliant.

The Tribunal directed the Employer to provide notice of the application to affected past and present employees by posting and mailing a Notice of Application, pursuant to s. 29(1) of the Pay Equity Act.

The Pay Equity Office was also directed to mail the application and notice to the confidential employee.

The applicant filed an application under the Pay Equity Act objecting to a Review Officer's Order.

At a pre-hearing conference, the applicant indicated it would seek an adjournment but failed to file any correspondence.

As no response was filed and the applicant failed to communicate further, the Tribunal adjourned the application sine die, noting it would be deemed terminated if no party sought to proceed by June 30, 2010.
