Section 251.11 — Canada Labour Code: Appeal

Subject to subsection (1.1), a person who is affected by a decision made under subsection 251.101(3), other than a decision to rescind a notice of unfounded complaint or a notice of voluntary compliance, may appeal the decision to the Board, in writing, within 15 days after the day on which the decision is served. Only an employer to whom a compliance order has been issued may appeal a decision with respect to that order. Except in the case of a compliance order, the person may appeal the decision only on a question of law or jurisdiction. The request for appeal shall contain a statement of the grounds of appeal. An employer or director of a corporation is not permitted to appeal a decision confirming or varying a payment order unless the employer or director pays to the Head the amount indicated in the decision — and, in the case of an employer, the administrative fee specified in the decision in accordance with subsection 251.131(1) — less any amount and administrative fee paid under subsection 251.101(2). The Head may allow an employer or a director of a corporation to give security, in a form satisfactory to the Head and on any conditions specified by the Head, for all or part of the amount and fee referred to in subsection (3). In the case of a director, subsection (3) applies subject to the maximum amount of the director’s liability under section 251.18.
