<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">“What minimum wage legislation says is: Regardless of who you are, regardless of what you do for a job, regardless of how well you do that job, we think that this is the minimum any self-respecting

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">While the able-bodied workers earned minimum wage or more, Garrie and the other disabled adults were paid between $1 and $1.25 an hour, the tribunal found.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Garrie’s mother, Marjorie Tibbs, who launched the discrimination complaint on her daughter’s behalf, said she knew about the wage disparity but assumed it was legal, since Szuch had a

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">But when her daughter was fired unexpectedly in October 1999, Tibbs launched a human rights complaint, alleging Szuch let her go because she was disabled. Tibbs also complained about the
unequal pay.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">“Terri-Lynn loved that job. She rarely missed a day of work in 10 years,” Tibbs said. “She loved getting up in the morning. She would make her lunch and stand at the bus stop. She loved
having something to do.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Although she didn’t participate in any of the hearings, Szuch sent a letter to the tribunal saying Garrie was a “trainee” and not an employee. As a trainee, she was paid an honorarium
amounting to about $50 a week so she could continue to receive Ontario Disability Support Program payments without triggering claw-backs, Bhattacharjee notes in his ruling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Szuch’s letter also says Garrie’s mother and sister, who also worked for the company briefly, were aware of the honorarium, as was Garrie’s ODSP case worker.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Despite Szuch’s personal bankruptcy, Garrie’s lawyer, Mindy Noble of the Human Rights Legal Support Centre, said the centre will “make every effort to try to collect.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">“The fact that we intervened in the first place shows we are really concerned about this issue and the seriousness with which the tribunal took it is very important,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Ontario amended a provision in the Employment Standards Act in 1986 that allowed employers to pay people with disabilities less than minimum wage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
