Ontario Public Service Employees Union/Syndicat des Employés de la Fonction Publique de l’Ontario, Local 166, Applicant v Craigwood Youth Services, Respondent

BEFORE: M. David Ross, Chair

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: March 6, 2025

[1]. This is an application under the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.7 as amended (“the Act”).

[2]. Section 4.2 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act, permits this procedural decision to be determined by a panel of one.

[3]. Hearing dates are scheduled for April 2, 3, 16, and 17, 2025.

[4]. By letter dated March 4, 2025, the respondent requested the Tribunal to adjourn this matter sine die because it has ceased operations and is the process of negotiating all matters with respect to that decision with the applicant. The applicant consented to the request.

[5]. Generally, the Tribunal does not prefer to adjourn matters without another scheduled hearing date when there appear to be pay equity obligations outstanding. In this case, there may be pay equity obligations from 2013 to 2017 owing to employees in female job classes as per the Tribunal’s decision dated November 14, 2024.

[6]. The Tribunal will convert the April 2, 2025, hearing date to a case management hearing.

[7]. The April 3, 16, and 17, 2025 hearing dates are hereby cancelled.
