Dear Ms. Bloodworth:

In light of the recent signing of various collective agreements, I have authorised similar increases in rates of pay for employees excluded from collective bargaining within these groups.

The groups and levels affected are as follows:

• Aircraft Operations Group, Civil Aviation Inspectors
  Sub-Group - CAI-5;
• Aircraft Operations Group, Engineering Test Pilots
  Sub-Group - ETP-2;
• Aircraft Operations Group, Helicopter Pilot and Supervisors Sub-Group - HPS-3.

The Head of Human Resources in your organisation has been notified of these increases and provided with the revised rates of pay. I am enclosing a copy of the French version of this letter for the use of your French-speaking officers.

Yours sincerely,

PAY NOTES

1. Except as provided in Pay Note 2, an employee who is paid in the present scale of rates shall, on the relevant effective date, be paid at the rate immediately below that rate in the scale of rates.
2. Effective October 26, 1999, prior to any other pay revision which occurs on that date, an employee shall be paid in the "B" line at the rate of pay which is immediately higher than the employee's rate of pay as of October 25, 1999.
3. Employees at level CAI-5 who have been at the maximum rate of pay for their level for more than twelve (12) months on October 26, 1999, will move to the new maximum rate of pay effective October 26, 1999.
4. Where an employee is performing acting duties on October 26, 1999, and is paid acting pay pursuant to clause 21.04, the employee's acting rate of pay will be adjusted effective October 26, 1999, in accordance with Pay Note 2. Upon termination of the acting assignment, the employee's substantive rate of pay will then be adjusted in accordance with Pay Note 2.
5. Notwithstanding Pay Note 1, an employee who was appointed from outside the Public Service above the minimum rate during a period when a pay increase becomes retroactive and who was notified in writing prior to his or her appointment that a negotiated retroactive pay increase would not apply to him or her, shall, effective the date of his or her appointment, have his or her rate of pay on appointment altered to the rate in the new scale of rates for his or her classification level which is nearest to but not less than the rate at which he or she was appointed. Changes in the employee's rate of pay which took place during the retroactive period will be recalculated based on that new rate.
6. The pay increment period for employees in these scales of rates is one (1) year and a pay increment shall be the next rate in the scale of rates.
7. Subject to Pay Note 8, the pay increment date for an employee appointed to a position in the bargaining unit on promotion, demotion or from outside the Public Service after February 22, 1982, shall be the anniversary date of such appointment. The anniversary date for an employee who was appointed to a position in the bargaining unit prior to February 22, 1982 remains unchanged.
8. Part-time employees shall be eligible to receive a pay increment when the employee has worked a total of nineteen hundred and fifty (1950) hours at the hourly rate of pay during a period of employment provided that the maximum rate for the employee's level is not exceeded. The pay increment date shall be the first working day following completion of the hours specified in this paragraph.
