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 Zone 2, at level 5 and a Supervisory Coordinate B6, would receive a basic rate of pay of seventeen dollars and seventy-four cents ($17.74) as per Annex "A". The Supervisory Differential of three dollars and ten cents ($3.10) is arrived by multiplying the Supervisory Differential Percentage of seventeen decimal five per cent (17.5%) (B6) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable supervisory rate of pay would be twenty dollars and eight-four cents ($20.84).

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 Zone 2, at level 5 and a C1 Inmate Training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of seventeen dollars and seventy-four cents ($17.74) as per Annex "A". The Inmate Training Differential of one dollar and seventy-seven cents ($1.77) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of ten decimal zero per cent (10.0%) (C1) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be nineteen dollars and fifty-one cents ($19.51) for this particular employee,

Inmate Training Differential as Applied to a Supervisory Rate

For example, an employee on August 5, 2000 in Zone 2, at level 5 with a Supervisory Coordinate B6 and a C1 Inmate training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of seventeen dollars and seventy-four cents ($17.74) as per Annex "A". The Supervisory Differential of three dollars and ten cents ($3.10) is arrived by multiplying the Supervisory Differential Percentage of seventeen decimal five per cent (17.5%) (B6) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). The Inmate Training Differential of one dollar and seventy-seven cents ($1.77) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of ten decimal zero per cent (10.0%) (C1) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be twenty-two dollars and sixty-one cents ($22.61) for this particular employee.

(i) on the day it commenced where half (1/2) or more of the hours worked fall on that day,

or

In every such period employees shall be granted days of rest on days not scheduled as normal work days for them.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the implementation of any variation in hours shall not result in any additional overtime work or additional payment by reason only of such variation, nor shall it be deemed to prohibit the right of the Employer to schedule any hours of work permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Any special arrangement, including twelve (12)-hour shifts, may be at the request of either party and must be mutually agreed between the Employer and the majority of employees affected and shall apply to all employees at the work unit.

(ii) to avoid excessive fluctuation in hours of work,

and

(iii) to schedule hours of work so that the work schedule shall provide an employee with one (1) weekend (Saturday and Sunday) off duty for each three (3) week period and where possible the schedule may provide an employee with every second weekend off duty,

(iv) not to schedule more than eight (8) consecutive days of work unless otherwise requested by the employees,

(v) to schedule at least two (2) consecutive days of rest at a time. Such two (2) consecutive days of rest may be separated by a designated paid holiday.

2.05 The Employer shall schedule hours of work for all employees. Working schedules shall be posted at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the starting date of the new schedule, and the Employer shall, where practical, arrange schedules which will remain in effect for a period of not less than twenty-eight (28) calendar days. Shifts shall be allocated on an equitable basis amongst employees governed by the same schedule.

2.06 An employee's scheduled hours of work shall not be construed as guaranteeing the employee minimum or maximum hours of work.

2.07 If an employee is given less than seven (7) days advance notice of a change in his or her shift schedule, he or she will receive a premium rate of time and one half (1 1/2) for work performed on the first (1st) shift changed. Subsequent shifts worked on the new schedule shall be paid for at the hourly rate of pay.

2.08 The Employer agrees that before a schedule of working hours is changed, the change will be discussed with the appropriate Steward of the Alliance if the change will affect a majority of the employees governed by the schedule.

2.09 Provided sufficient advance notice is given and with the approval of the Employer, employees may exchange shifts if there is no increase in cost to the Employer.
