1.01 The purpose of this Agreement is to maintain harmonious and mutually beneficial relationships between the Employer, the officers and the Union, to set forth certain terms and conditions of employment relating to remuneration, hours of work, officer benefits and general working conditions affecting officers covered by this Agreement and to ensure that all reasonable measures are provided for the safety and occupational health of the officers.

In such cases, the amount of the reduction shall not exceed the amount of the grant, bursary or scholarship.
29.03 Allowances already being received by the officer may at the discretion of the Employer be continued during the period of the education leave. The officer shall be notified when the leave is approved whether such allowances are to be continued in whole or in part.
29.04 As a condition of the granting of education leave without pay an officer shall, if required, give a written undertaking prior to the commencement of the leave to return to the service of the Employer for a period of not less than the period of the leave granted.
If the officer:
he shall repay the Employer all allowances paid to him under this article during the education leave or such lesser sum as shall be determined by the Employer.
29.05
29.06 Leave with pay may be granted to an officer for the purpose of writing an examination which takes place during the officer's scheduled hours of work. Such leave will be granted only where in the opinion of the Employer the course of study is directly related to the officer's duties or will improve his qualifications.
30.01 Unless it is a requirement of the officer's job, or unless by prior agreement in writing between the officer and management, no officer shall be required by the Employer to use his privately-owned motor vehicle on government business.
31.01 The Public Service Labour Relations Act provides penalties for engaging in illegal strikes. Disciplinary action, which may include penalties up to and including discharge, may also be taken for participation in an illegal strike as defined in the Public Service Labour Relations Act.
32.01 If officers whose normal duties are performed on the premises of industrial employers are prevented from performing their duties because of a strike or lock-out on the industrial employers' premises, the officers shall report the matter to the Employer and the Employer will consider measures designed to ensure that, so long as work is available, the officers affected are not denied regular pay and benefits to which they would normally be entitled.
33.01 The Employer shall continue to make all reasonable provisions for the occupational safety and health of officers. The Employer welcomes suggestions on this subject, and to this end encourages the formation of safety and health committees at appropriate locations in government departments. Where such a committee is formed, it may encompass one or all bargaining units at the location at the discretion of the Employer. The composition of the Committee, which shall be composed of personnel employed at the location, will be determined locally through consultation between management and local union representatives. The Committee shall meet as required to consult and make recommendations on matters of occupational health and safety; within the scope of the policies, procedures and standards prescribed by the Employer, and which are designed or intended to prevent or reduce the risk of occupational injury and illness.
34.01 In cases of alleged misinterpretation or misapplication arising out of agreements concluded by the National Joint Council (NJC) of the public service on items which may be included in a collective agreement and which the parties to this Agreement have endorsed, the grievance procedure will be in accordance with section 15.0 of the NJC By-Laws.
34.02 The parties recognize the value of informal discussion between officers and their supervisors to the end that problems might be resolved without recourse to a formal grievance. When the parties avail themselves of an informal conflict management system established pursuant to section 207 of the PSLRA, the time limits prescribed in the Article 34 Grievance Procedure are suspended until either party gives the other notice in writing to the contrary.
34.03 In determining the time within which any action is to be taken as prescribed in this procedure, Saturdays, Sundays and designated holidays shall be excluded.
34.04 The time limits stipulated in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement between the Employer and the officer and, where appropriate, the Union Representative.
34.05 Where the provisions of clauses 34.07, 34.24 or 34.38 cannot be complied with and it is necessary to present a grievance by mail, the grievance shall be deemed to have been presented on the day on which it is postmarked and it shall be deemed to have been received by the Employer on the day it is delivered to the appropriate office of the department or agency concerned. Similarly the Employer shall be deemed to have delivered a reply at any level on the date on which the letter containing the reply is postmarked, but the time limit within which the grievor may present his grievance at the next higher level shall be calculated from the date on which the Employer's reply was delivered to the address shown on the grievance form.
34.06 A grievance shall not be deemed to be invalid by reason only of the fact that it is not in accordance with the form supplied by the Employer.

35.02 Within five (5) days of notification of consultation served by either party, the Union shall notify the Employer in writing of the representative authorized to act on behalf of the Union for consultation purposes.
**
35.03 Without prejudice to the position the Employer or the Union may wish to take in future about the desirability of having the subjects dealt with by provisions of collective agreements, the following subjects, as they affect officers covered by this Agreement, shall be regarded as appropriate subjects of consultation involving the Employer and the Union during the term of this Agreement:

The following Appendices B, C, D, E and F shall be effective on the date of signature of this collective agreement.
This is to confirm an understanding reached between the Employer and the Union with respect to the administration of Designated Paid Holidays as stipulated in Article 20.07 of the collective agreement for certain Operating officers.
Article 20.07(a) stipulates as follows:
On April 1st of each year each officer shall be credited with one hundred and thirty-two (132) hours in lieu ("lieu hours") of designated holidays;
The parties agree that the value of a single designated holiday is to be calculated by dividing the total number of annual lieu hours by the total number of holidays in a year (132 /11 = 12 hours).
Operating officers on leave without pay, educational leave or under a suspension:
For Operating officers who are on leave without pay, educational leave or under a suspension, twelve (12) hours will be deducted from the bank of "lieu" hours for each holiday which occurs during the period of leave without pay, educational leave or suspension, in accordance with the value of a single designated paid holiday as established in the above paragraph.
Seasonal Officers:
Based on the above formula, seasonal officers will be credited with twelve (12) hours in their lieu hours bank for each designated paid holiday which occurs during their period of seasonal employment. For each lieu day subsequently taken, the officer's bank will be deducted on the basis of the officer's regularly scheduled hours of work.
Operating officers temporarily assigned to Non-Operational duties:
For Operating officers who are temporarily assigned to Non-Operating positions and who are thereby in a position to enjoy the designated paid holiday, twelve (12) hours will be deducted from the bank of "lieu" hours for each holiday during the temporary assignment, in accordance with the value of a single designated paid holiday as established in the above paragraph. Non-Operating Radio Operators who are temporarily assigned operational duties will be credited with twelve (12) lieu hours for each holiday occurring during their assignment to operational duties.
This is to confirm an understanding reached between the Employer and the Union with respect to officers who perform the duties of an instructor at the Canadian Coast Guard College, Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this collective agreement, the following shall apply to officers who perform the duties of an instructor at the Canadian Coast Guard College, Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Instructors shall not be required to provide classroom or similar instruction in excess of an average of twenty (20) hours per week, averaged over a four (4) month period.
Instructors shall be granted a pedagogical break which will include all calendar days between December 25 and January 2, inclusively. During this period, instructors are entitled to thirty (30) hours of leave with pay, in addition to three (3) designated paid holidays, as provided for under clause 20.01 of this Agreement.
Should January 2 coincide with an instructor's day of rest or with a day to which a designated paid holiday has been moved, this day shall be moved to the instructors first scheduled working day following the pedagogical break.
If an instructor performs authorized work during the pedagogical break on a day other than a designated paid holiday or a normal day of rest, the instructor shall receive compensation based on his or her normal daily rate of pay, in addition to his or her usual pay for the day.
The Employer and the Union agree that for those officers to whom the provisions of clause 02 of Article 21, Hours of Work, apply, the provisions of the collective agreement which specifies days shall be converted to hours. Where the collective agreement refers to a "day", it shall be converted to seven decimal five (7.5) hours.
For greater certainty, the following provisions shall be administered as provided herein:
For the purposes of this Memorandum of Agreement "calendar week" means the one hundred and sixty-eight (168) hour period commencing at 00:01 Sunday and terminating at 24:00 Saturday.
Clause (e) "daily rate of pay" - shall not apply.
Officers shall have their accrued days of vacation, sick and lieu day credits converted to hours of credits by multiplying the number of days by seven decimal five (7.5). When an officer ceases to be subject to this Memorandum of Agreement his credits will be converted to days by dividing the number of hours by seven decimal five (7.5) and adjusting it upwards to the nearest half-day.
Clause 16.02 shall not apply and shall be replaced by:
For each calendar month of a fiscal year in which an officer has earned pay for at least seventy-five (75) hours at his hourly rate of pay, he shall earn vacation leave credits at the rate of:
When an officer dies or otherwise ceases to be employed, he or his estate shall be paid an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of hours of earned but unused vacation leave with pay to his credit by the hourly rate of pay as calculated from the classification prescribed in his certificate of appointment on the date of the termination of this employment, except that the Employer shall grant the officer any vacation leave earned but not used by him before the employment is terminated by layoff if the officer so requests because of a requirement to meet minimum service requirements for severance pay.
Clause 17.01 shall not apply and shall be replaced by:
17.01 For each calendar month of a fiscal year in which an officer receives pay for at least seventy-five (75) hours at his hourly rate of pay, he shall earn sick leave credits at the rate of nine decimal three seven five (9.375) hours at his hourly rate of pay for each month.
Clause 17.04 shall not apply and shall be replaced by:
17.04 Where an officer has insufficient or no credits to cover the granting of sick leave with pay under the provisions of clause 17.02, sick leave with pay may, at the discretion of the Employer, be granted:
20.08 A designated paid holiday shall account for seven decimal five (7.5) hours only. When a designated paid holiday falls on a workday, or is moved to a workday under the provisions of clause 20.03, of an officer to whom the provisions of clause 21.02 apply, the officer shall be required to account by work or by authorized leave with pay for thirty (30) hours at his hourly rate of pay in the calendar week in which the designated paid holidays are observed.
20.09 When two (2) designated paid holidays fall on two (2) workdays in the same calendar week, or are moved to two (2) workdays in the same calendar week under the provisions of clause 20.03, of an officer to who, the provisions of clause 21.02 apply, the officer shall be required to account by work or buy authorized leave with pay for twenty-two decimal five (22.5) hours at his hourly rate of pay in the calendar week in which the designated paid holidays are observed.
Paragraph 22.01(b) shall not apply and shall be replaced by:
**
This Memorandum of Agreement shall be effective on the date of signing and shall expire on April 30, 2011.
The parties agree that it may be operationally advantageous to implement work schedules for operating officers that vary from clause 21.03. Accordingly, the Employer agrees to consult with the Union during the currency of this Collective Agreement in order to consider the practicability of instituting such work schedules on a trial basis.
It is further agreed that the implementation of any such variation in hours shall not result in any additional overtime work or additional payment by reason only of such variation nor shall the Employer's right to schedule any hours of work permitted by the terms of the collective agreement be restricted.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the RO Collective Agreement, the Treasury Board and the Union agree that special hours of work arrangements may be implemented at certain work units of Department of Fisheries and Oceans where officers work on a rotating or irregular shift basis, subject to all of the following considerations:
Where the above special arrangements are implemented the following provisions shall apply:
**
This Memorandum of Agreement shall be effective on the date it is signed and shall expire on April 30, 2011.
The parties agree to re-establish a joint study group comprised of equal representation to meet once every fiscal year. The study group will review issues of concern pertaining to learning and professional development as well as assess any specific or global needs of Marine Communications and Traffic Service officers which may be jointly referred to it by the parties.
The committee will submit its findings and its recommendations to the parties within ninety (90) days of its annual meeting.
Time spent by the members of the joint study group shall be considered time worked. All other costs will be the responsibility of each party.
This memorandum is to give effect to the agreement reached between the Employer and the CAW Local 2182 in respect of employees in the Radio Operations bargaining unit.
The Employer is committed to engaging in meaningful consultation with the Union with respect to the development of a national policy within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans pertaining to the accumulation and use of compensatory time by members of the bargaining unit. The policy should also incorporate the content of the letter of understanding concerning seasonal employees and the accumulation of compensatory credits that came into effect by means of a memorandum dated April 28, 2003.
The Employer is further committed to the implementation of said national policy within four (4) months of the date of signing of the collective agreement.
The agreement cannot be interpreted as a guarantee that a consensus can be reached on any of the outcomes of the consultation themselves.
The parties agree that there is to be consultation between the parties before any formal classification review of the RO group takes place. It is further agreed that, in the event that no review is scheduled to begin during the life of this collective agreement, the union shall be informed as such before expiration of this collective agreement.
