WOODWORKING SUB-GROUP (WOW)
HOURLY RATES OF PAY
(in dollars)

A) Effective August 5, 2000
B) Effective August 5, 2001
C) Effective August 5, 2002

ANNEX "B"
SUPERVISORY DIFFERENTIAL

The Supervisory Differential is to be used in the following manner:

(1) determine the non-supervisory rate of pay according to zone and level;

(2) determine the Supervisory Differential by multiplying the applicable Supervisory Differential Percentage by the non-supervisory rate of pay;

(3) determine the supervisory rate of pay by adding the non-supervisory rate of pay with the Supervisory Differential.

For example, an employee on August 5, 2000 in the MAM sub-group in Zone 1, at level 8 and a Supervisory Coordinate B2, would receive a basic rate of pay of nineteen dollars and three cents ($19.03) as per Annex "A". The Supervisory Differential of one dollar and twenty-four cents ($1.24) is arrived by multiplying the Supervisory Differential Percentage of six decimal five per cent (6.5%) (B2) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable supervisory rate of pay would be twenty dollars and twenty-seven cents ($20.27).

**ANNEX "C"
INMATE TRAINING DIFFERENTIAL

The Inmate Training Differential is to be used in the following manner:

(1) determine the non-supervisory rate of pay according to zone and level;

(2) determine the Inmate Training Differential by multiplying the applicable Inmate Training Differential Percentage by the non-supervisory rate of pay;

(3) determine the inmate training rate of pay by adding the inmate training differential to the non-supervisory rate of pay as set out in Annex "A" or to the supervisory rate of pay as set out in Annex "B" of the Agreement if applicable,

Inmate Training Differential as Applied to a Non-Supervisory Rate

For example, an employee on August 5, 2000 in the MAM sub-group in Zone 3, at level 8 and a C2 Inmate Training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of seventeen dollars and forty-three cents ($17.43) as per Annex "A". The Inmate Training Differential of two dollars and nine cents ($2.09) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of twelve decimal zero per cent (12.0%) (C2) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be nineteen dollars and fifty-two cents ($19.52) for this particular employee,

Inmate Training Differential as Applied to a Supervisory Rate

For example, an employee on August 5, 2000 in the MAM sub-group in Zone 3, at level 8 with a Supervisory Coordinate B2 and a C2 Inmate training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of seventeen dollars and forty-three cents ($17.43) as per Annex "A". The Supervisory Differential is one dollar and thirteen cents ($1.13) as set out in Annex "B" of the collective agreement. The Inmate Training Differential of two dollars and nine cents ($2.09) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of twelve decimal zero per cent (12.0%) (C2) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be twenty dollars and sixty-five cents ($20.65) for this particular employee,

8.

Note:

The allowance is used to compensate employees who are required to perform diving duties, either hard hat or scuba, on a part-time or occasional basis, in order to compensate such employees for the skill, knowledge, specific vocational training, effort and responsibility required in the performance of diving duties, and for the working conditions encountered in such duties

4. All compensatory leave credits should be liquidated in the fiscal year in which they are earned.

5. If, due to operational requirements, leave cannot be liquidated in the fiscal year in which it was earned, at a time convenient to both the employee and the Employer, unused compensatory leave credits may be paid off in cash at the end of the fiscal year.
