Recently, the Ontario Labour Relations Board ruled that an Ontario worker was not entitled to statutory overtime pay – even though he put in plenty of overtime.
The worker was hired in 2019 to be an area zone supervisor for Kellermeyer Bergensons Services Canada (KBS), a cleaning company based in Edmonton. His job was to oversee various accounts with clients such as shopping malls, warehouses, and department stores in Ontario.
The worker estimated that he worked up to 28 extra hours per week. And in 2023, he resigned and then filed a claim under the Ontario Employment Standards Act (ESA) for unpaid overtime.
