This is to confirm the understanding reached between the Employer and PSAC
with respect to the operation of vessels, or other appropriate situations where
the Employer deems that continuous operations are desirable, on the lay-day work
system.
The Employer shall make every reasonable effort to allow an employee the
option of electing not to serve on a lay-day system, if the employee does so in
writing. The Employer will consider the employee's request by reviewing regional
vacancies on vessels operating on crewing systems other than those on the
lay-day system, and regional shore operations for which the employee may be
qualified.
The number of vessels operating on the lay-day work system can be modified
from time to time through consultation by the parties. Existing vessels not
currently working on the lay-day work system, except for vessels defined in
paragraphs (a) and (b) below, shall not be permanently placed on the lay-day
system without the mutual consent of the Employer and the Public Service
Alliance of Canada,
(a) any vessels not currently on the lay-day manning system where the crew of

Employer and the employee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Ships' Crew Collective Agreement, the
following conditions shall apply:
1. General
(a) Subject to operational requirements, the Employer will operate the
selected vessels on a lay-day system. Under this system, all days will be
considered as working days and there will be no days of rest.
(b) "Day" in relation to an employee means the
twenty-four (24) hour period during which that employee is normally
required to perform the duties of his/her position and commences at the
designated crew change time.
(c) "Lay-Day" means a day off work with pay to
which an employee becomes entitled by working on the Lay-Day Work System for a
number of days. A lay-day shall be considered a part of the work cycle and as
such is not considered as a day of authorized leave with pay.
(d) Employees will be informed of the anticipated work schedule for the
operational year. Employees will be notified of changes to the anticipated work
schedule at the earliest possible time. Normally, employees will receive
two (2) months notice of changes to the anticipated work schedule,
with a minimum of fourteen (14) days notice.
(e)
(i) The workday will consist of an on-duty-cycle of twelve (12) hours of
work per day. For each day worked or for each on-duty-cycle day on which an
employee is on authorized leave with pay other than compensatory leave and
vacation leave with pay, an employee shall earn one decimal seventeen (1.17)
lay-day in addition to the employee's lay-day pay.
**
(ii) The lay day to which subparagraph (e)(i) refers shall be one decimal
thirty-six (1.36) for an employee working on vessels operating in accordance
with the scheduling arrangement otherwise known as 10-2-1.

or
(iii) be on authorised leave with pay.
(g) In the event that an employee does not work and is neither on lay-days
nor on authorised leave with pay, his regular pay shall be deducted by an amount
equal to his lay-day rate of pay for each day's absence, unless the employee has
received an advance of lay-day credits.
(h) It is recognised that lay-days are intended to be taken as time off work
with pay. Normally, lay-days shall be paid in cash in cases of termination of
employment or permanent appointment to a position which is not on a vessel
operating on the lay-day system, or is not within the same department or region.
However, at the request of the employee and with the concurrence of the
Employer, lay-days may be converted into compensatory leave.
(i) For the purpose of cashing in earned lay-days, a lay-day will equal the
lay-day rate of pay multiplied by one decimal five (1.5).
At the Employer's discretion, lay-day credits may be advanced to an employee,
subject to the deduction of such advanced credits from any lay-day credits
subsequently earned.
In the event of termination of employment for reasons other than death or
lay-off, the Employer shall recover the advance from any monies owed the
employee.

multiplied by one decimal five (1.5) lay-days displaced by
vacation leave will be paid in cash at the lay-day rate of pay multiplied by
two decimal zero (2.0).

report, and remains ashore waiting to board his or her vessel for crew change,
shall be considered to be at work and is entitled to meals and quarters under
General, Meals and Quarters.
(e) Where the Employer alters the scheduled "off-cycle" the
Employer shall reimburse the employee's non-refundable portion of travel
contracts or reservations made by the employee with respect to that period,
subject to the presentation of such documentation as the Employer may require.
The employee will make every reasonable attempt to mitigate any loss incurred
and will provide proof of such action to the Employer.
(f) At the request of the employee and with the concurrence of the Employer,
compensation earned in accordance with Designated Holidays, may be converted
into compensatory leave.
(a) For the purpose of granting vacation leave for employees subject to the
lay-day system, in accordance with this Annex, all vacation leave credits for
employees entering or in the lay-day system will be multiplied by a factor of
two decimal one (2.1)*. For employees
leaving the system, vacation leave credits will be adjusted by reversing the
factor.
(b) Vacation Leave
Vacation leave with pay shall be granted on an hourly basis, with the hours
debited for each day of vacation leave being equal to
twelve (12) hours per day.

factor, the cash equivalent to two decimal fifty
(2.50) lay-days;

overtime compensation clause below, for work performed on a designated holiday
in excess of twelve (12) hours.
(c) For each designated holiday for which an employee is scheduled to work,

credit will not be deducted from the employee lay-day bank and the employee will
not be entitled to any additional pay.

hourly credits by multiplying the number of sick leave days earned by
twelve (12).
(c) Should an employee leave the Ships' Crew Group or

converted to regular days by dividing the number of sick leave hours by
twelve (12) and adjusting it upwards to the nearest
half (1/2) day.
(d) Sick Leave With Pay shall be granted on an hourly basis, with the hours
debited for each day of sick leave being equal to twelve (12) hours

hundred (300) hours, subject to the deduction of such advanced leave
from any sick leave credits subsequently earned and, in the event of termination
of employment for reasons other than death or lay-off, the recovery of the
advance from any monies owed the employee.
For the purpose of the Article, Weekly rate of pay means the employee's
lay-day rate of pay as set out in the Ships' Crew rates of pay Annex, multiplied
by seven (7), applying to the employee's classification, as shown in the
instrument of appointment.

10.03 In the case of vessels assigned primarily to Search
and Rescue operations, employees shall be available to return to the vessel
within thirty (30) minutes. In the case of vessels whose primary

discretion of the Employer.
10.05 When an employee commences compensatory leave, such
leave shall be granted at the sub-group and level at which it is earned and at
the rate of pay for that sub-group in effect on the day on which the
compensatory leave is granted. Compensatory leave will be liquidated in the
order in which it is earned, commencing with the earliest accrued credits.

Where the Employer requires an employee working on
"Non-watchkeeping" vessels to be available on standby during off duty

Vessels of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which carry special armaments
for the purpose of enforcement duties, where the employee may be required by the
Employer to participate in armed boarding activity.
1. Ships' Crew must maintain their qualifications on a continuing basis.
2. These allowances shall form part of pay for the purposes of Severance Pay.
For the duration of the this collective agreement the Employer recognizes the
desirability of granting days off at such times and in such locations so as to
provide an employee the opportunity to enjoy the employee's days off preferably
at home, or if not at home, in a community which affords the employee a
recreational outlet.
The Employer shall designate a home port for each employee, and subject to
operational requirements the Employer undertakes the following:
1. The Employer will grant an employee compensatory leave in the employee's
home port unless otherwise mutually agreed.
2. The Employer will grant days of rest to an employee either:
(a) in the employee's home port,
(b) when, in the opinion of the Employer, an employee is within reasonable
travelling distance from the employee's place of residence or the employee's
home port,
(c) in a location which, in the opinion of the Employer, provides adequate
recreational facilities,
(d) in any other location which might be agreeable to both the Employer and
the employee.
3. When 2 above does not apply, an employee shall work on the employee's day
of rest at the applicable overtime compensation or, if in the opinion of the
Employer, sufficient work is not available and the employee does not work, the
employee shall be granted one-half (1/2) day of compensation. If the employee
works less than a day, he/she shall receive a minimum of four-(4) hours'
pay at the applicable premium rate.
This Annex is in respect of the application of training for employees working
under Annexes "C", "D" and "E".
Training refers to an activity where the Employer has determined that such
training is necessary or will assist the employee in carrying out his/her
assigned duties.
The following activities shall be deemed to be training:
(a) a course given by the Employer,
(b) a course offered by a recognized academic institution,
(c) a seminar, convention or study session in a specialized field directly
related to the employee's work.
Training is divided into short and long term. Short-term training is any
training scheduled to be twenty-eight (28) days or less in duration
and long term is that which is scheduled to be longer in duration than
twenty-eight (28) days.
For short term training the employee shall remain in their normal "work
cycle". In those periods where the employee is undertaking training during
the normally scheduled off duty portion of the work cycle the employee will be
compensated for the scheduled training period at their straight time rate of
pay.
For long term training the employee shall be temporarily removed from their
work system and shall work, and be compensated, in accordance with
Annex "B".
Employees on training under Annex "B" will be compensated for
the scheduled training period at their straight time rate of pay.
Employees on training shall be reimbursed for all reasonable travel expenses
incurred.
For the duration of this Collective Agreements the Alliance and the Employer
mutually recognize the benefit to all parties of employees accumulating
compensatory leave in anticipation of non-operational and/or off duty periods.
Failure to accumulate sufficient compensatory leave credits to cover the
anticipated periods could lead to employees being placed on off-duty status,
resulting in loss of pay for all or a portion of the non-operational period.
Accordingly employees are encouraged to accumulate and retain compensatory
leave credits sufficient to cover:
(1) periods during which the vessel will be non-operational by reason of
refit, repair, seasonal lay-up, etc.
and
(2) periods during which the employee is not required to work in accordance
with a rotational or relief crew system.
To facilitate such accumulation of such compensatory leave, the Employer
undertakes to provide employees with as much notice as possible of the periods
referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) above.
The Employer also recognizes the desirability of permitting employees to
accumulate compensatory leave credits in excess of
three hundred (300) hours for purposes such as seasonal lay-up,
educational purposes and other reasonable requests. In the event that such an
accumulated compensatory leave is not used for the purpose requested it shall be
liquidated in cash.
Notwithstanding the general provisions of this collective agreement, the
following specific provisions shall apply to employees performing duties as
Printing Operations Supervisors.
Hours of Work
1.01 Subject to clauses 25.07 and 25.08, the normal
work week shall be scheduled so that the employees work thirty-seven
and one-half (37 1/2) hours per week and seven and one-half
(7 1/2) hours per day.
Pay Administration
2.01 If an employee dies, the salary due to him or her on
the last working day preceding the employee's death, shall continue to accrue to
the end of the month in which the employee dies. Salary so accrued which has not
been paid to the employee as at the date of the employee's death shall be paid
to his or her estate.
3.01 If an employee reports for work on his or her scheduled
shift, the employee shall be entitled, as a minimum, to compensation equivalent
to four (4) hours' pay at his or her hourly rate of pay.

recess the employee is entitled to a minimum of three (3) hours' pay at the

(b) The minimum payment referred to in paragraph 3.02(a) above, does not
apply to part-time employees. Part-time employees will receive a minimum payment
in accordance with clause 59.05 of this Agreement.
3.03 Clause 3.01 and 3.02 are not applicable where the
employee fails to receive reasonable advance notification not to report for work
through absence from his or her home or because of other circumstances beyond
the control of the Employer.
4.01 An employee, regularly employed in one plant, who is
required to travel to and work in another plant within the same headquarters
area during the employee's regular hours or immediately after, shall have normal
