Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal
0105-12-PE Miki Shinozaki, Applicant v. Hotlomi Spa, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Diane L. Gee, Chair.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: April 26, 2012
Decision
On April 10, 2012, the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal received an application from Ms. Miki Shinozaki in which it is alleged that Ms. Shinozaki has not been paid wages and vacation pay owing to her by her former employer; that she was not provided with a T4; and that she was treated with hostility. The application asserts that Ms. Shinozaki’s former employer is in breach of the Employment Standards Act.
The jurisdiction of the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal is as set out in the Pay Equity Act. It does not have jurisdiction to determine the complaints advanced by Ms. Shinozaki. Employees who have a complaint that their employer has not complied with the provisions of the Employment Standards Act, have recourse as outlined on the Ontario Minister of Labour website under the tab “Employment Standards” accessed at: http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/forms/claim.php.
Having regard to the fact that the issues raised in this complaint do not fall within the jurisdiction of the Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal this application is hereby terminated.
“Diane L. Gee”
Diane L. Gee, Chair
