FPSLREB Decisions

Pay Equity - Equalization payments - in an earlier decision, 2001 PSSRB 30, the adjudicator denied the grievors' grievances in which they alleged that payments made by Treasury Board to some of its employees constituted a Special Pay Adjustment relating to pay equity within the meaning of the collective agreement applicable to the grievors - the employer was obligated to apply any such Special Pay Adjustment to the grievors - the adjudicator found that the grievors did not establish, on a balance of probabilities, that the special pay adjustments paid by the Treasury Board to its employees were for pay equity reasons - on an application for judicial review by the grievors, the Federal Court, Trial Division, set aside the adjudicator's decision with a direction that the grievances be allowed: Auclair v. Canada (Library of Parliament), 2002 FCT 777. Grievances allowed. Cases cited: Auclair, 2001 PSSRB 30; Auclair v. Canada (Library of Parliament), 2002 FCT 777.
