It must be a much more straight forward process in Canada for small business. In the US, I have worked for a company sued twice for people claiming unpaid wages. I personally knew both to be fraudulent, and retaliatory for letting the person go. The company I was with always just settled for the claimed amount if it was a couple thousand dollars because it was easier and cheaper than fighting it in court.
