Victor Golubkov ("Golubkov") learned that Teodora
Kristof ("Kristof"), who was at that time the principal of an Arthur Murray Dance School franchise,Camobear Ballroom Incorporated ("Camobear"), was seeking a dance instructor. Since Mr. Golubkov was neither a Canadian citizen nor a resident, Camobear was required to obtain a work permit for him under the terms of the federal government's Temporary Foreign Worker Program ("TFWP").

Golubkov was promised 25.56$ per hour, but only received 15$ per hour.

In the first complaint dated September 26, 2013, Mr. Golubkov
sought over $10,100 in unpaid regular wages earned during the period from March 26 to September 26, 2013, on the basis that Camobear was not paying wages based on the wage rate it represented that he would receive. In addition, Mr. Golubkov also claimed about $400 as reimbursement for Medical Services Plan("MSP") premiums he paid: "My Employer also agreed as per my employment contract to pay for MSP coverage but has failed to do so and I make these payments out of pocket". By way of the second complaint, filed March 12, 2014, Mr. Golubkov claimed approximately $10,700 in unpaid wages and vacation pay for the period September 26, 2013, to March 11, 2014.

Case is sent back to Director of employment standards of British Columbia.
