PART V - PAY AND DURATION

ARTICLE 39
PAY ADMINISTRATION

39.01 Except as provided in this Article, the terms and conditions governing the application of pay to employees are not affected by this Agreement.

39.02 An employee is entitled to be paid for services rendered at:

(a) the pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification of the position to which the employee is appointed, if the classification coincides with that prescribed in the employee's certificate of appointment,

or

(b) the pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification prescribed in the employee's certificate of appointment, if that classification and the classification of the position to which the employee is appointed do not coincide.

39.03

(a) When an employee is required by the Employer to perform the duties of a higher classification level for a period of at least four (4) consecutive working days, the employee shall be paid the pay of the higher level, calculated from the date on which the employee commenced to perform the duties of the higher level.

(b) An employee who is required to perform the duties of a higher classification level will not be arbitrarily assigned and reassigned between his or her regular position and the acting position solely for the purpose of avoiding entitlement to acting pay in the higher level position.

39.04 The Employer will endeavour to make cash payment of compensation for acting duties in the month following the month in which the acting duties were performed.

39.05 Overpayment

Where an employee, through no fault of his or her own, has been overpaid, the appropriate pay office will, before recovery action is implemented, advise the employee of the intention to recover the overpayment. Where the amount of overpayment is in excess of fifty dollars ($50.00), and where the employee advises his or her local management that the stated recovery action will create a hardship, arrangements will be made by the Employer with the appropriate pay office to limit recovery action to not more than ten per cent (10%) of the employee's pay each pay period until the entire amount is recovered.

39.06 The Employer will notify the Association in writing thirty (30) days in advance of the creation of any new jobs within the bargaining unit or the establishment of a new classification plan for jobs within the bargaining unit.
