Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal
File No.: 1675-11-PE Alexander Rogovik, Applicant v. St. Michael’s Hospital, Responding Party.
BEFORE: Diane L. Gee, Chair.
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: February 8, 2012
[1]. By way of decision dated December 21, 2011 the Tribunal commented that, while the application filed by Alexander Rogovik takes issue with the contents of the Review Officer’s Notice of Decision, it does not clearly set out the facts he relies on in asserting that St. Michael’s Hospital has contravened the Pay Equity Act. As a result, the Tribunal issued the following direction:
- Rogovic [sic] is therefore directed to deliver to the Hospital and to file with the Registrar of the Tribunal written representations addressing the following questions:
a) On how many occasions did he seek a pay raise from the Hospital?
b) With respect to each of those occasions, what individual(s) did he speak to?
c) What rationale for the pay raise did he articulate on each occasion, and what response was provided?
d) Were any of the requests for a raise expressly linked to the requirements of the Act?
e) I understand Rogovic [sic] to be asserting that he should be paid the same rate as the Senior Scientist. What is the rationale for that position?
f) Does Rogovic [sic] also assert that all Research Assistants should be paid at the Senior Scientist rate? What is the rationale for that position?
g) If Rogovic [sic] asserts that he should have been compensated differently from the other Research Assistants, how is it that the Hospital’s failure to do so contravened the Act? and
h) Any other facts that Rogovic [sic] feels are pertinent to his assertion that the Act has been contravened and which are not raised by the preceding questions.
[2]. Rogovik was directed to serve and file his written representations by January 9, 2012.
[3]. As of the date of this decision, no written representations have been filed. Rogovik is hereby directed to serve and file the written representations as described above no later than February 22, 2012 failing which this application will be deemed to be dismissed.
