Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act

Version of section 191 from 2017-06-19 to 2024-11-11:


Marginal note:Duty and power of the Board

  •  (1) Subject to subsection (3), on receipt of a complaint made under subsection 190(1), the Board may assist the parties to the complaint to settle the complaint. If it decides not to do so or if the complaint is not settled within a period that the Board considers to be reasonable in the circumstances, it must determine the complaint.

  • Marginal note:Refusal to determine complaint involving collective agreement

    (2) The Board may refuse to determine a complaint made under subsection 190(1) in respect of a matter that, in the Board’s opinion, could be referred to adjudication under Part 2 or Division 2 of Part 2.1 by the complainant.

  • Marginal note:Burden of proof

    (3) If a complaint is made in writing under subsection 190(1) in respect of an alleged failure by the employer or any person acting on behalf of the employer to comply with subsection 186(2), the written complaint is itself evidence that the failure actually occurred and, if any party to the complaint proceedings alleges that the failure did not occur, the burden of proving that it did not is on that party.
