Goldblatt Partners LLP is counsel in a proposed class action against four related companies: Handa Travel Student Trip Ltd. o/a I Love Travel, Campus Vacations Holdings Inc., 2504027 Ontario Inc. o/a Breakaway Tours, and 2417988 Ontario Inc. o/a S-Trip! (collectively referred to as “S-Trip”).
The proposed class action has been filed on behalf of all Trip Leaders who worked for S-Trip on trips commencing in or departing from Ontario since May 18, 2016.
The statement of claim alleges, among other things, that S-Trip violated the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (the “ESA”) and its contracts of employment with the Trip Leaders by misclassifying Trip Leaders as “volunteers” and failing to pay them wages, overtime, vacation pay and public holiday pay in accordance with the ESA.
