The non-profit society that runs the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Centre at 20605 51B Ave. paid $5,000 to settle a wrongful dismissal lawsuit filed by a former employee, court records show.
Joanna Spady was director of executive and administrative services at the Langley Senior Resources Society when she was fired in October of last year.
In a written statement of claim filed in Surrey Small Claims court on Jan.23, a lawyer for Spady sought $10,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal, plus $1,615.95 in overtime and $102.60 in gross pay.
According to the one-page document, Spady worked for the society from March 7, 2011 until Oct.29, 2014 when she was terminated.
During a 55-minute settlement conference on July 10, court records show that Spady and the society agreed to settle the case for $5,000, payable in two installments by July 15.
