On May 1, 2015 the OSC started a “Mediation Pilot Program” that was set to end on March 31, 2016. “The Program”, as the commission refers to it, is not mandatory but is set in place as an option for individuals who are involved in enforcement proceedings with the commission. Its purpose is to give these individuals a chance to resolve their dispute through the use of a third party mediator who is separate from the commission. Any mediation services used will be at cost to the parties involved. This option may only be used if the timeline does not cause it to interfere with the original process. This process is informal and not binding.
