Employee appeal for minimum wage claim dismissed as it was filed beyond the six-month statutory recovery period.
The applicant appealed an Employment Standards Officer's refusal to issue an Order to Pay for a minimum wage claim.
The Officer denied the claim because it was filed beyond the six-month recovery period under the Employment Standards Act.
The Ontario Labour Relations Board found that the applicant's claim was received by the Ministry of Labour more than six months after the monies would have become due.
The Board rejected the applicant's argument that he was misdirected by Ministry personnel, noting that an Employment Standards Officer cannot overturn the Act.
The appeal was dismissed.
