Pay Equity Hearings Tribunal
PEHT Case No: 0732-19-PE
Applicant: Bestia Holdings Ltd., Peoplestore Staffing Solutions Inc.
Before: Patrick Kelly, Alternate Chair
Decision of the Tribunal: June 14, 2019
Decision
1This is an application under subsection 24(6) of the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.7, as amended (“the Act”).
2Section 4.2(1) of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act permits a panel of one to decide this matter.
3The application was initially filed with the Tribunal on May 30, 2019. By way of correspondence dated June 4, 2019, the Registrar advised the applicant, Bestia Holdings Ltd., Peoplestore Staffing Solutions Inc., that the application lacked a copy of the Order from Review Services (“the Order”) to which the applicant objected, and that the Certificate of Delivery accompanying the application was incomplete. Accordingly, the applicant filed an amended application on June 4, 2019 (“the amended application”) that included a copy of the Order and a new Certificate of Delivery.
4The new Certificate of Delivery indicates that a copy of the application was delivered to the Pay Equity Office (“PEO”) and to no other responding party. The Order arose out of the PEO’s Monitoring Program in which employers are audited by the PEO for purposes of ensuring compliance with the Act. In other words, the Order was not prompted by an employee complaint.
5The applicant’s employees affected by the Order appear to be persons entitled by law to be parties, and may wish to participate as such. Accordingly, the applicant is directed forthwith to post a copy of this decision and the amended application in the workplaces of the applicant in locations where they are likely to come to the attention of the workplace employees. Furthermore, the applicant is to notify the Tribunal in writing regarding the date, time and locations that the decision and amended application were posted, on or before Tuesday, June 18, 2019.
6If the PEO or any employee wishes to participate in the hearing of the application they must provide the Tribunal with a Form 2 Response and deliver a copy to the applicant in compliance with the Tribunal’s Rules of Practice, on or before July 3, 2019.
Dated at Toronto this 14th day of June 2019.
