PART
V - PAY AND DURATION
30.01 Except as provided in this Article, the terms and
conditions governing the application of pay to employees are not affected by
this Agreement.
30.02
(a) The rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" shall become
effective on the date specified therein.
(b) Where the rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" have an
effective date prior to the date of signing of the collective agreement, the
following shall apply:
(i) "retroactive period", for the purpose of sub-clause
30.02(b)(ii) to (v), means the period from the revision up to and including the
day before the day the collective agreement is signed or when an arbitral award
is rendered therefore;
(ii) 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 group during the retroactive period;
(iii) 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
below the rate of pay being received prior to the revision;
(iv) 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 below the rate of pay being received prior to the
revision;
(v) no payment or no notification shall be made pursuant to paragraph
30.02(b) for one dollar ($1.00) or less.

rendered at the rate of pay specified in Appendix "A" for the
classification of the position to which he is appointed.
30.04 Acting Pay
When an employee is required by the Employer to perform substantially the
duties of a higher classification level on an acting basis and performs those
duties for at least one (1) working day, the employee shall be paid acting pay
from the date on which the employee commenced to act for the period in which the
employee acts as if the employee had been appointed to that higher
classification level.
30.05 When an employee is temporarily required by the
Employer to perform the duties of a classification in the bargaining unit with a
lower rate of pay than the employee is receiving, the employee shall continue to
hold the employee's higher classification and be paid at the rate for that
classification.
The provision of this clause shall not apply to an employee on
"lay-off" as defined in clause 2.01.
30.06 An employee who was receiving a holding rate of pay on
the effective date of this Agreement shall continue to receive that rate of pay
until such time as there is a rate for the employee's classification level which
is equal to or higher than the employee's holding rate. At that time, the
employee will be paid the rate which is equal to or higher than the employee's
holding rate.
30.07 Payments made as a result of clause 30.05 shall not
change the holding rates of pay or the holding scale of rates to which an
employee is entitled.
30.08 If, during the term of this Agreement, a new
classification standard is established, and new rates of pay are applied, any
disagreement between the parties arising out of the new rates of pay shall be
subject to negotiation.

32.01 Unless otherwise expressly stipulated, the provisions
of this Collective Agreement shall become effective on the date it is signed.
