AN ALBERTA government min-
istry had sufficient medical infor-
mation to accommodate a worker
on medical leave eight months
earlier than it actually did, an ar-
bitrator has ruled.
The worker held a part-time,
senior administrative position
for the Alberta Ministry of Justice
and Solicitor General at the Cal-
gary Courts Centre (CCC).
He came into conflict with co-
workers, to the point where he
filed harassment grievances in
early 2018. In May, he provided a
medical note saying that his work
environment was causing him

into the misconduct, an arbitrator has ruled.
The worker, 56, was a valet at the Fairmont Royal
York, a luxury hotel in Toronto. His job duties in-
volved parking guests' vehicles in a reserved park-
ing lot. The spaces were in a parking area adjacent
to the building that the hotel leased and to which
valets gained access with a card issued by the park-
ing lot's owner. The hotel paid the owner a flat fee
for use of the lot and charged guests $53 for over-
night parking.
In March 2016, the hotel's ethics hotline received
