shall inform each employee to whom the procedure applies of the name or title of the person so designated together with
the name or title and address of the immediate supervisor or local officer-in-charge to whom a grievance is to be
presented.
This information shall be communicated to employees by means of notices posted by the Employer in places where such
notices are most likely to come to the attention of the employees to whom the grievance procedure applies, or otherwise

rise to the grievance.
35.10 An employee may present a grievance at each succeeding step in the grievance procedure beyond
the first step either:

within fifteen (15) days after presentation by the employee of the grievance at the previous step.
35.11 The Employer shall normally reply to an employee's grievance at any step of the grievance
procedure, except the final step, within ten (10) days after the grievance is presented, and within twenty (20) days
where the grievance is presented at the final step.
35.12 Where an employee has been represented by the Institute in the presentation of the employee's
grievance, the Employer will provide the appropriate representative of the Institute with a copy of the Employer's

employee.
35.13 Where a grievance has been presented up to and including the final step in the grievance
process, and the grievance is not one that may be referred to adjudication, the decision on the grievance taken at the
final step in the grievance process is final and binding and no further action may be taken under the Public
Service Staff Relations Act.
35.14 In determining the time within which any action is to be taken as prescribed in this
procedure, Saturdays, Sundays and designated paid holidays shall be excluded.
35.15 Where the provisions of clause 35.03 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 step on the
date on which the letter containing the reply is postmarked, but the time limit within which the grievor may present
the grievance at the next higher step shall be calculated from the date on which the Employer's reply was delivered to
the address shown on the grievance form.
35.16 The time limits stipulated in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement between the
Employer and the employee and, where appropriate the Institute representative, except as provided in clause 35.18.
35.17 Where it appears that the nature of the grievance is such that a decision cannot be given
below a particular step of authority, any or all the steps except the final step may be eliminated by agreement of the

to which a different degree of PFA, or no PFA, applies, and when the employee's basic monthly pay entitlement in the

basic monthly pay entitlement plus PFA in the employee's regular position, the employee shall receive the PFA
applicable to the employee's regular position.

employee's regular position:

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 shown immediately below the rate of pay being received prior to the revision;
(v) no payment or no notification shall be made pursuant to paragraph 46.06(b) for one dollar ($1.00) or less.
