14.01 Where an employee is required by the
Employer to travel outside his headquarters area and on government business, as
these expressions are normally defined by the Employer, and when such travel is
approved and the means of travel determined by the Employer, the employee shall
be compensated only in accordance with clause 14.03, except in the case of
employees covered by Article 19, who are not entitled to any additional
compensation. However, in the case of interpreters working in the official
languages, the travel shall be deemed to be duties other than interpretation
for the purposes of clause 12.04 and its duration shall be calculated in
accordance with clause 14.02.
14.02 The travelling time to be compensated
is as follows:
- for
travel by public transportation, the time between the regularly scheduled time
of departure and the actual time of arrival at a destination and, in the case
of travel by aircraft, the scheduled limousine time to and from the airport;
- for
travel by privately-owned automobile, the normal time as determined by the
Employer to drive from the employee's place of residence directly to his
destination and return.
14.03 If an
employee is required to travel in accordance with the provisions of clauses 14.01
and 14.02:
- on a
normal work day during which he travels but does not work, he shall receive his
normal day's pay;
- on a
normal work day during which he travels and works, he shall be paid:
- at the straight-time hourly rate for the
first seven and one-half (7 1/2) hours,
and
- at the applicable overtime rate for the
additional travelling time in excess of seven and one-half (7 1/2) hours as
mentioned in sub-paragraph 14.03(b)(i), to a maximum of twelve (12) hours at
the straight-time hourly rate;
- on a
day of rest or a designated paid holiday, he shall be paid at the applicable
overtime rate to a maximum of twelve (12) hours' pay at the straight-time
hourly rate.
14.04 Upon application by the employee, the
Employer may meet any obligation to pay compensation to an employee under this
Article by granting to that employee compensatory leave in lieu of such
compensation. Compensatory leave not used by the end of a twelve (12) month
period, as determined by the Employer, will be paid in cash by multiplying the
number of hours to be cashed by the straight-time hourly rate which applied to
the employee on the last day of this twelve (12) month period.
14.05 All calculations for travel time
shall be based on each completed half (1/2) hour of travel.
14.06 Compensation under this Article shall not be paid for travel time to
courses, training sessions, conferences and seminars, unless the employee is
required to attend by the Employer.
14.07 Travel Status
Leave
- An employee who is required to travel
outside his headquarters area on government business, as these expressions are
defined by the Employer, and is away from his permanent residence for forty (40)
nights during a fiscal year shall be granted one (1) day off with pay. The
employee shall be credited with one (1) additional day off for each additional
twenty (20) nights that the employee is away from his permanent residence to a
maximum of eighty (80) additional nights.
- The
maximum number of days off earned under this clause shall not exceed five (5)
days in a fiscal year and shall accumulate as compensatory leave with pay.
- This
leave with pay is deemed to be compensatory leave and is subject to paragraph 13.10(c).
- The
provisions of this clause do not apply when the employee travels to attend
courses, training sessions, professional conferences and seminars.
15.01 Except as provided in clauses 15.02,
15.03, 15.04 and 15.05, the terms and conditions governing the application of
pay to employees are not affected by this Agreement.
15.02 An
employee is entitled to be paid for services rendered at:
- the
pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification of the position
to which he is appointed, if the classification coincides with that prescribed
in his letter of offer,
or
- the
pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification prescribed in
his letter of offer, if that classification and the classification of the
position to which he is appointed do not coincide.
15.03
- The
rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" shall become effective on the
dates specified.
- Where
the rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" have an effective date
prior to the date of signing of this Agreement, the following shall apply:
- "retroactive period" for the purpose
of subparagraphs (ii) to (v) means the period from the effective date of the
revision up to and including the day before the collective agreement is signed
or when an arbitral award is rendered therefor;
- a retroactive upward revision in rates of pay
shall apply to employees, former employees or in the case of death, the estates
of former employees who were employees in the bargaining unit during the
retroactive period;
- for initial appointments made during the
retroactive period, the rate of pay selected in the revised rates of pay is the
rate which is immediately shown below the rate of pay being received prior to
the revision;
- for promotions, demotions, deployments,
transfers or acting situations effective during the retroactive period, the
rate of pay shall be recalculated, in accordance with the Public Service
Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations, using the revised rates of
pay. If the recalculated rate of pay is less than the rate of pay the employee
was previously receiving, the revised rate of pay shall be the rate, which is
nearest to, but not less than the rate of pay being received prior to the
revision. However, where the recalculated rate is at a lower step in the range,
the new rate shall be the rate of pay immediately shown below the rate of pay
being received prior to the revision;
- no payment or no notification shall be made
pursuant to paragraph 15.03(b) for one dollar ($1.00) or less.
15.04 The qualifying period for the payment
of acting pay for employees is three (3) consecutive working days or shifts.
This payment will be made in accordance with existing regulations.
15.05 Overtime pay which has been paid to
an employee during the period covered by the retroactive pay increases will be
recomputed and the difference between the amount paid on the old salary basis
and the amount payable on the new salary basis will be paid to the employee.
15.06 When an employee at the TR-2, TR-3
or TR-4 level who is not an interpreter is assigned by the Employer to
interpretation duties for a temporary period, he shall be entitled to an amount
of forty dollars ($40.00) per day in addition to his regular pay but such
amount shall not be granted for the time spent in training for such duties.
15.07 Shift Premium
- An employee who works shifts shall receive a shift premium
of two dollars ($2.00) per hour for all hours worked between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00
a.m., including overtime. This premium shall not be paid for hours worked
between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Agreement, a new classification standard is established and implemented by the
Employer, the Employer shall, before applying rates of pay to the new levels
resulting from the application of the standard, negotiate with the Association

to the new levels.

- When
a day designated as a paid holiday under clause 16.01 coincides with an
employee's day of rest, the holiday shall be moved to the employee's first (1st)
normal day of work following his day of rest. When a day designated as a paid
holiday is moved to a day on which the employee is on paid leave, the day shall
be counted as a holiday and not as a day of leave.
- When
