What is the effect of an employer's refusal to accept an employee’s retirement notice?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Stevenson v. Treasury Board (Department of Employment and Social Development Canada ), 2016 PSLREB 17 (CanLII):
73 Employment in the federal public service is also governed by the PSEA, which covers resignations and administrative discharges. Itdetermines when someone becomes a federal public service employee and when that person ceases to be an employee. There is no room in this regime for another form of termination (see Gaskin v. Canada Revenue Agency, 2008 PSLRB 96 at para. 69). The employer has not violated the grievor’s terms and conditions of employment or taken any action against her. She chose to retire. Nothing was unreasonable or arbitrary in the employer’s treatment of the grievor.
