The grievor grieved the early termination of his three-year term – the deputy head objected to the jurisdiction of an adjudicator to hear the grievance, alleging that the termination was a layoff under the PSEA – the adjudicator found that he had jurisdiction because the deputy head’s contrived reliance on the PSEA was a sham or a camouflage – therefore, he found the termination unlawful – the adjudicator awarded damages for lost wages, lost performance bonus, lost employee benefits, loss of reputation and psychological injury, with interest – he further awarded damages for obstruction of process and retained jurisdiction to assess their value, should the parties fail to agree on them.

Grievance allowed in part.

Jurisdiction retained.
