PEHT Case No: 2143-18-PE
Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, Applicant v Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, Respondent v Pay Equity Office, Intervenor
BEFORE: Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: March 4, 2019
This is an application under the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.7 as amended (“the Act”) made in respect of a Notice of Decision issued in 2013.
Section 4.2(1) of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act permits a panel of one to issue this decision.
The Pay Equity Office (“the Office”) seeks to intervene in this matter, and has advised that neither of the other parties object to its doing so. In these circumstances, and having regard to the nature of the issues raised by the application, leave to intervene is hereby granted.
The Office and the responding party (“the School Board”) both seek to have this application dismissed on a preliminary basis and have set out full written submissions in support of that result. Furthermore, it does not appear that there is any reason why this issue cannot be decided on the basis of written submissions alone without an oral hearing.
The applicant shall have until March 22, 2019 in which to file responding submissions. Should it take the position that any part of the request made by the School Board and the Office requires an oral hearing, it may identify why that is so in its submissions.
The School Board and the Office shall have until March 29, 2019 in which to reply to the applicant’s submissions.
I am not seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 4th day of March, 2019.
"Mary Anne McKellar" Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
