Pay Equity Office, Applicant v Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, Respondent
PEHT Case No: 2605-15-PE
Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa (SASC), Applicant v Pay Equity Office, Respondent
BEFORE: Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: January 12, 2016
Case No. 2512-15-PE is a reference made by the Pay Equity Office (“the Office”) under section 24(5) of the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.7, as amended (“the Act”), alleging that the respondent (“the Employer”) has not complied with the Order of the Review Officer.
Case No. 2605-15-PE is an application by the Employer, objecting to the terms of the Order, and citing financial inability as a basis for not complying with its terms.
The Order on its face indicates that an unidentified employee of the Employer was a party to the complaint dealt with by the Review Officer.
By this decision, I am directing the Office to provide the unidentified employee forthwith with a copy of the application in Case No. 2605-15-PE as well as a blank Response form, and to advise the Registrar of the Tribunal when it has done so, including identifying the date and method of delivery.
The unidentified employee has the right to participate in these proceedings by delivering and filing a completed Response within ten working days of the date of this decision. The Tribunal’s Rules of Practice set out what information should be included in a Response (Rules 16-20), and how it should be delivered to the other parties and filed with the Tribunal (Rules 23-28). Those Rules also provide that an employee may participate anonymously in a proceeding, but must appoint an agent to do so (Rules 29-31). The Rules are posted on the Tribunal’s website.
This is a decision that section 4.2(1) of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act permits a panel of one to make.
I am not seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 12th day of January, 2016.
