Goldblatt Partners LLP is counsel in a proposed class action against Pizza Nova Take Out Ltd., Pizza Nova Restaurants Ltd., and its franchisees who operate over 140 Pizza Nova store locations across Ontario (collectively referred to as “Pizza Nova”).
The proposed class action has been commenced on behalf of all contract delivery drivers who worked for Pizza Nova and/or any of its franchisees in Ontario since January 1, 2012.
The statement of claim alleges, among other things, that Pizza Nova violated the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (the “ESA”) and its contracts of employment with its delivery drivers by misclassifying them as “independent contractors” and failing to pay them minimum wage, overtime, vacation pay and public holiday pay in accordance with the ESA.
