MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THE TREASURY BOARD OF CANADA
AND
THE CAW LOCAL 2182
IN RESPECT OF
THE ADMINISTRATION OF
DESIGNATED PAID HOLIDAYS
FOR CERTAIN RADIO OPERATORS

**

This is to confirm an understanding reached between the Employer and the Union with respect to the administration of Designated Paid Holidays as stipulated in Article 20.07 of the collective agreement for certain Radio Operators.

Article 20.07(a) stipulates as follows:

The parties agree that the value of a single designated holiday is to be calculated by dividing the total number of annual lieu hours by the total number of holidays in a year (120 /11 = 10.9 hours).

Seasonal Employees:

Based on the above formula, seasonal employees will be credited with 10.9 hours in their lieu hours bank for each designated paid holiday which occurs during their period of seasonal employment. For each lieu day subsequently taken, the employee's bank will be deducted on the basis of the employee's regularly scheduled hours of work.

For Radio Operators who are temporarily assigned to Non-Operating positions and who are thereby in a position to enjoy the designated paid holiday, 10.9 hours will be deducted from the bank of "lieu" hours for each holiday during the temporary assignment, in accordance with the value of a single designated paid holiday as established in the above paragraph. Non-Operating Radio Operators who are temporarily assigned operational duties will be credited with 10.9 lieu hours for each holiday occurring during their assignment to operational duties.

The parties further agree that implementation of this understanding will be retroactive to May 5^th, 1999.
