Can an employer unilaterally change its payroll practice?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Canadian Pacific Railway Company v. Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, 2020 ONSC 5346 (CanLII):
In Coca-Cola Bottling v. U.F.C.W., Local 175, [2003] O.L.A.A. No. 799, the employer unilaterally changed its payroll practice from weekly to bi-weekly. In that case the arbitrator found that there was nothing in the agreement that specified a particular pay period or pay day and that management’s decision to change the pay period was a reasonable one.
