|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016.08.19 | Gust v. Right-of-Way Operations Group Inc. | 2016 BCSC 1527 | 31 | 1.1 | Other | Jack of all trades"...responsible for inventory and materials management for the electrical transmission line, tracking shipments and predicting shortages, organizing and planning the storage yard, managing deliveries, trucks and personnel bringing materials to the site...no one at the yard was directly reporting to him and he “wasn’t necessarily a boss”. Generally, the plaintiff appears to have provided a broad, but not specialized skill set for his employer...responsibilities commensurate with a low-level supervisory position" | 2 |
| 2011.10.21 | Haftbaradaran v St Hubertus Estate Winery Ltd | 2011 BCSC 1424 | 37 (approx) | 2 | Other | Winemaker"The winemaker, on the other hand, has a senior position in the wine industry. The winemaker makes the significant decisions in the process of turning grape juice into wine. He or she will decide what grapes will be used to produce what wine; whether the grapes need to be blended; when, under what circumstances, and for how long fermentation will proceed; how long the wine should be aged; when it should be bottled; and, to a degree, how the wine should be marketed. A winery gets one shot at making a saleable product from its annual harvest – a mistake that renders the produce unpalatable can be financially ruinous. A winemaker carries a lot of responsibility on his or her shoulders. For these reasons, the winemaker does not remove him or herself from the nitty-gritty of the winemaking process." | 8 |
| 2009.04.29 | Koos v A & A Customs Brokers Ltd | 2009 BCSC 563 | 39 (approx) | 10 | Other | Customs brokerage specialist"By all accounts the plaintiff’s position was a specialized one. It involved the gathering and understanding of the various regulations affecting imports and exports, advising customers on customs duties and tariffs, and studying the policies and practices of governments with respect to these matters. The evidence was that the plaintiff’s job did not carry with it any supervisory or management duties. A great many employees consulted her on particulars of customs compliance but they did not report to her...Her job is unique and not easily transferable except within the brokerage industry. Her increased learning has been gained mainly on the job, and although she is “specialized”, her work is distinguishable from that involving sophisticated conceptual tasks and branches of technical expertise." | 10 |
