(a) forward the grievance to the representative of the Employer authorized to deal with grievances at the appropriate step,

and

(b) provide the employee with a receipt stating the date on which the grievance was received.

34.04 A grievance of an employee shall not be deemed to be invalid by reason only of the fact that it is not in accordance with the form supplied by the Employer.

(a) where there is another administrative procedure provided by or under any Act of Parliament to deal with the specific complaint such procedure must be followed,

and

(b) where the grievance relates to the interpretation or application of this Collective Agreement or an Arbitral Award, the employee is not entitled to present the grievance unless the employee has the approval of and is represented by the Institute.

34.06 There shall be no more than a maximum of four (4) steps in the grievance procedure. These steps shall be as follows:

(a) Step 1 - first (1st) level of management;

(b) Steps 2 and 3 in departments or agencies where such steps are established - intermediate step(s);

(c) Final Step - Chief Executive or Deputy Head or authorized representative.

34.10 An employee may present a grievance at each succeeding step in the grievance procedure beyond the first (1st) step either:

(a) where the decision or settlement is not satisfactory to the employee, within ten (10) days after that decision or settlement has been conveyed in writing to the employee by the Employer,

34.11 The Employer shall normally reply to an employee's grievance at any step of the grievance procedure, except the final step, within ten (10) days after the grievance is presented, and within twenty (20) days where the grievance is presented at the final step.

34.12 Where an employee has been represented by the Institute in the presentation of a grievance, the Employer will provide the appropriate representative of the Institute with a copy of the Employer's decision at each step of the grievance procedure at the same time that the Employer's decision is conveyed to the employee.

34.13 Where a grievance has been presented up to and including the final step in the grievance process, and the grievance is not one that may be referred to adjudication, the decision on the grievance taken at the final step in the grievance process is final and binding and no further action may be taken under the Public Service Staff Relations Act.

34.14 In determining the time within which any action is to be taken as prescribed in this procedure, Saturdays, Sundays and designated paid holidays shall be excluded.

34.15 Where the provisions of clause 34.03 cannot be complied with and it is necessary to present a grievance by mail, the grievance shall be deemed to have been presented on the day on which it is postmarked and it shall be deemed to have been received by the Employer on the day it is delivered to the appropriate office of the department or agency concerned. Similarly, the Employer shall be deemed to have delivered a reply at any step on the date on which the letter containing the reply is postmarked, but the time limit within which the grievor may present the grievance at the next higher step shall be calculated from the date on which the Employer's reply was delivered to the address shown on the grievance form.

34.16 The time limits stipulated in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement between the Employer and the employee and, where appropriate the Institute representative, except as provided in clause 34.18.

8.21 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the implementation of any variation in hours (subparagraph 8.09(e)(i)) 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.

8.22 Within five (5) days of notification of consultation served by either party, the Institute shall notify the Employer in writing of the representative authorized to act on behalf of the Institute for consultation purposes.

and

(ii) has satisfied all of the other eligibility criteria specified in paragraph 17.04(a), other than those specified in sections (A) and (B) of subparagraph 17.04(a)(iii),

(b) An employee shall be paid an allowance under this clause and under clause 17.04 for a combined period of no more than the number of weeks during which she would have been eligible for pregnancy benefits pursuant to Section 22 of the Employment Insurance Act had she not been disqualified from Employment Insurance pregnancy benefits for the reasons described in subparagraph (a)(i).

**APPENDIX "R"

PROCESS TO DECIDE IF THE RECRUITMENT,
RETENTION OR EXPANDED ROLE
OF PRACTICE ALLOWANCE CAN BE
EXTENDED TO A TYPE 3 COMMUNITY

The following reproduces the English version of a memorandum sent by Ian Potter, Assistant Deputy Minister, First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Health Canada to FNIHB Regional Directors on 15 January 2002.

In the course of recent contract negotiations with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), five Community Workload Increase Systems (CWIS) Type 3 communities have been identified1 where the union reports that the nurses in these health facilities are providing care twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and are practicing an expanded scope of nursing practice. According to the collective agreement, because these communities are not designated as CWIS Type 1 or 2, the nursing staff will not receive the expanded professional role allowance, or the recruitment or the retention allowances until such time that the employer makes a decision to extend the allowances.

There is a documented process established to allow for full senior management review and decision regarding whether the level of nursing services in a Type 3 community warrants extension of these allowances to nurses working in that facility. To date this process has not been exercised and, as a result, an outstanding union's concern regarding five Type 3 communities remains unresolved.

In order to bring resolution to this issue I propose the following course of action. As a first step, the request for extension of these allowances to the nurses working in the communities in question must be brought to the respective Regional Union Management Consultation Committee (UMCC). The Regional Director, together with the Regional Nursing Officer (RNO), and a representative of PIPSC will review the nursing service requirements of each of the communities identified by the union in Alberta and Ontario. This review will take place within 90 days of the signing of the new agreement. The results of this review and resulting recommendations, will be brought forward by the respective Regional Directors to the next First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) Executive Committee meeting for final decision as per the established Branch process developed in May 2000.

Furthermore, to ensure that all levels of management in the Regions are aware of this established process for review and decision regarding the level of nursing service in a Type 3 community as it relates to the allowances for nurses, I will outline the process in a memorandum to the FNIHB Regional Directors which will be distributed to Regional managers at all levels within 60 days of the signing of the Health Services (HS) agreement.

General

Application

**

This Appendix applies to all employees.

Unless explicitly specified, the provisions contained in Parts I to VI do not apply to alternative delivery initiatives.

Collective Agreement

**

With the exception of those provisions for which the Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible, this Appendix is part of this collective agreement.

Objectives

It is the policy of the Treasury Board to maximise employment opportunities for indeterminate employees affected by work force adjustment situations, primarily through ensuring that, wherever possible, alternative employment opportunities are provided to them. This should not be construed as the continuation of a specific position or job but rather as continued employment.

To this end, every indeterminate employee whose services will no longer be required because of a work force adjustment situation and for whom the deputy head knows or can predict employment availability will receive a guarantee of a reasonable job offer within the public service. Those employees for whom the deputy head cannot provide the guarantee will have access to transitional employment arrangements (as per Part VI and VII).

Definitions

Accelerated lay-off (mise en disponibilité accélérée) - occurs when a surplus employee makes a request to the deputy head, in writing, to be laid off at an earlier date than that originally scheduled, and the deputy head concurs. Lay-off entitlements begin on the actual date of lay-off.

Affected employee (fonctionnaire touché) - is an indeterminate employee who has been informed in writing that his services may no longer be required because of a work force adjustment situation.

Alternation (échange de postes) - occurs when an opting employee (not a surplus employee) who wishes to remain in the public service exchanges positions with a non-affected employee (the alternate) willing to leave the public service with a Transition Support Measure or with an Education Allowance.

Alternative delivery initiative (diversification de mode de prestation de service) - is the transfer of any work, undertaking or business of the public service to any body or corporation that is a separate employer or that is outside the public service.

Appointing department (ministère d'accueil) - is a department or agency which has agreed to appoint or consider for appointment (either immediately or after retraining) a surplus or a laid-off person.

Deputy head (administrateur général) - has the same meaning as in the definition of "Deputy Head" set out in section 2 of the Public Service Employment Act, and also means his official designate.

**

Education Allowance (indemnité d'étude) - is one of the options provided to an indeterminate employee affected by normal work force adjustment for whom the deputy head cannot guarantee a reasonable job offer. The Education Allowance is a cash payment, equivalent to the Transitional Support Measure (see Annex "B"), plus a reimbursement of tuition from a recognised learning institution, book and mandatory equipment costs, up to a maximum of $8,000.00.

Guarantee of a reasonable job offer (garantie d'une offre d'emploi raisonnable) - is a guarantee of an offer of indeterminate employment within the public service provided by the deputy head to an indeterminate employee who is affected by work force adjustment. Deputy heads will be expected to provide a guarantee of a reasonable job offer to those affected employees for whom they know or can predict employment availability in the public service. Surplus employees in receipt of this guarantee will not have access to the Options available in Part VI of this Appendix.

Home department (ministère d'attache) - is a department or agency declaring an individual employee surplus.

Laid off person (personne mise en disponibilité) - is a person who has been laid off pursuant to PSEA 29(1) and who still retains a reappointment priority under PSEA 29(3).

Lay-off notice (avis de mise en disponibilité) - is a written notice of lay-off to be given to a surplus employee at least one month before the scheduled lay-off date. This period is included in the surplus period.

Lay-off priority (priorité de mise en disponibilité) - a person who has been laid off is entitled to a priority for appointment without competition or appeal to a position in the public service for which, in the opinion of the PSC, they are qualified. This priority is accorded for one year following the lay-off date, pursuant to subsection 29(3) of the Public Service Employment Act, or following the termination date, pursuant to paragraph 11(2.01) of the Financial Administration Act.

Opting employee (fonctionnaire optant) - is an indeterminate employee whose services will no longer be required because of a work force adjustment situation and who has not received a guarantee of a reasonable job offer from the deputy head and who has 90 days to consider the Options of Part 6.3 of this Appendix.

Pay (rémunération) - has the same meaning as "rate of pay" in the employee's collective agreement.

Priority administration system (système d'administration des priorités) - is a system designed by the PSC to facilitate appointments of individuals entitled to statutory and regulatory priorities.

Public Service (fonction publique) - means the several positions in or under any department, agency, or other portion of the public service of Canada specified in Schedule I, Part I of the Public Service Staff Relations Act (PSSRA), for which the PSC has the sole authority to appoint.

Reasonable job offer (offre d'emploi raisonnable) - is an offer of indeterminate employment within the public service, normally at an equivalent level but could include lower levels. Surplus employees must be both trainable and mobile. Where practicable, a reasonable job offer shall be within the employee's headquarters as defined in the Travel Directive. In Alternative Delivery situations, a reasonable offer is one that meets the criteria set out in Type 1 and Type 2 of Part VII of this Appendix.

Reinstatement priority (priorité de réintégration) - is an appointment priority accorded by the PSC, pursuant to the Public Service Employment Regulations, to certain individuals salary-protected under this Appendix for the purpose of assisting such persons to re-attain an appointment level equivalent to that from which they were declared surplus.

Relocation (réinstallation) - is the authorised geographic move of a surplus employee or laid-off person from one place of duty to another place of duty, beyond what, according to local custom, is a normal commuting distance.

Relocation of work unit (réinstallation d'une unité de travail) - is the authorised move of a work unit of any size to a place of duty beyond what, according to local custom, is normal commuting distance from the former work location and from the employee's current residence.

Retraining (recyclage) - is on-the-job training or other training intended to enable affected employees, surplus employees and laid-off persons to qualify for known or anticipated vacancies within the public service.

Surplus employee (fonctionnaire excédentaire) - is an indeterminate employee who has been formally declared surplus, in writing, by his deputy head.

Surplus priority (priorité de fonctionnaire excédentaire) - is an entitlement for a priority in appointment accorded by the PSC, pursuant to the Public Service Employment Regulations, to surplus employees to permit them to be appointed to other positions in the public service without competition or right of appeal.

Surplus status (statut de fonctionnaire excédentaire) - An indeterminate employee is in surplus status from the date he is declared surplus until the date of lay-off, until he is indeterminately appointed to another position, until his surplus status is rescinded, or until the person resigns.

Transition Support Measure (mesure de soutien à la transition) - is one of the options provided to an opting employee for whom the deputy head cannot guarantee a reasonable job offer. The Transition Support Measure is a cash payment based on the employee's years of service in the public service, as per Annex "B".

Twelve-month surplus priority period in which to secure a reasonable job offer (Priorité de fonctionnaire excédentaire d'une durée de douze mois pour trouver une offre d'emploi raisonnable) - is one of the options provided to an opting employee for whom the deputy head cannot guarantee a reasonable job offer.

Work force adjustment (réaménagement des effectifs) - is a situation that occurs when a deputy head decides that the services of one or more indeterminate employees will no longer be required beyond a specified date because of a lack of work, the discontinuance of a function, a relocation in which the employee does not wish to relocate or an alternative delivery initiative.

Authorities

The PSC has endorsed those portions of this Appendix for which it has responsibility.

Monitoring

Departments shall retain central information on all cases occurring under this Appendix, including the reasons for the action; the number, occupational groups and levels of employees concerned; the dates of notice given; the number of employees placed without retraining; the number of employees retrained (including number of salary months used in such training); the levels of positions to which employees are appointed and the cost of any salary protection; and the number, types, and amounts of lump sums paid to employees.

Part I
Roles and Responsibilities

1.1 Departments

1.1.1 Since indeterminate employees who are affected by work force adjustment situations are not themselves responsible for such situations, it is the responsibility of departments to ensure that they are treated equitably and, whenever possible, given every reasonable opportunity to continue their careers as public service employees.

1.1.2 Departments shall carry out effective human resource planning to minimise the impact of work force adjustment situations on indeterminate employees, on the department, and on the public service.

1.1.3 Departments shall establish work force adjustment committees, where appropriate, to manage the work force adjustment situations within the department.

1.1.4 Departments shall, as the home department, cooperate with the PSC and appointing departments in joint efforts to redeploy or retrain for redeployment to appointing departments departmental surplus employees and laid-off persons.

1.1.5 Departments shall establish systems to facilitate redeployment or retraining of the department's affected employees, surplus employees, and laid-off persons.

**

1.1.6 When a deputy head determines that the services of an employee are no longer required beyond a specified date due to lack of work or discontinuance of a function, the deputy head shall advise the employee, in writing, that his services will no longer be required. A copy of this letter shall be sent forthwith to the PSC.

Such a communication shall also indicate if the employee:

(a) is being provided a guarantee of a reasonable job offer from the deputy head and that the employee will be in surplus status from that date on,

or

(b) is an opting employee and has access to the options of Section 6.3 of this Appendix because the employee is not in receipt of a guarantee of a reasonable job offer from the deputy head.

Where applicable, the communication should also provide the information relative to the employee's possible lay-off date.

1.1.7 Deputy heads will be expected to provide a guarantee of a reasonable job offer for those employees subject to work force adjustment for whom they know or can predict employment availability in the public service.

1.1.8 Where a deputy head cannot provide a guarantee of a reasonable job offer, the deputy head will provide 90 days to consider the three Options outlined in Part VI of this Appendix to all opting employees before a decision is required of them. If the employee fails to select an option, the employee will be deemed to have selected Option (a), Twelve-month surplus priority period in which to secure a reasonable job offer.

1.1.9 The deputy head shall make a determination to either provide a guarantee of a reasonable job offer or access to the Options set out in 6.3 of this Appendix, upon request of any indeterminate affected employee who can demonstrate that his duties have already ceased to exist.

1.1.10 Departments shall send written notice to the PSC of the employee's surplus status, and shall send to the PSC such details, forms, resumes, and other material as the PSC may from time to time prescribe as necessary for it to discharge its function.

1.1.11 Departments shall advise and consult with PIPSC representatives as completely as possible regarding any work force adjustment situation as soon as possible after the decision has been made and throughout the process and will make available to PIPSC the name and work location of affected employees.

1.1.12 The home department shall recommend in writing to the PSC whether the employee is suitable for appointment. Where an employee is not considered suitable for appointment, the department shall advise the employee and PIPSC of that recommendation. The department shall send to the employee a copy of the written communication to the Public Service Commission, indicating the reasons for the recommendation together with any enclosures. The department shall also advise the employee that he may make oral or written submissions about the matter to the Public Service Commission before the PSC makes its decision. Where the Public Service Commission does not accept the department's recommendation, the department shall provide the surplus period required under this Appendix, beginning on the date the department is advised of the decision. The department shall so advise the employee.

1.1.13 The home department shall provide the PSC with a statement that it would be prepared to appoint the surplus employee to a suitable position in the department commensurate with his qualifications, if such a position were available.

1.1.14 Departments shall provide that employee with the official notification that he has become subject to a work force adjustment and shall remind them that Appendix "S" on Work Force Adjustment of this collective agreement applies.

1.1.15 Deputy heads shall apply this Appendix so as to keep actual involuntary lay-offs to a minimum, and lay-offs shall normally only occur where an individual has refused a reasonable job offer, or is not mobile, or cannot be retrained within two years, or is laid-off at his own request.

1.1.16 Departments are responsible to counsel and advise their affected employees on their opportunities of finding continuing employment in the public service.

1.1.17 Appointment of surplus employees to alternative positions, whether with or without retraining, shall normally be at a level equivalent to that previously held by the employee, but this does not preclude appointment to a lower level. Departments shall avoid appointment to a lower level except where all other avenues have been exhausted.

1.1.18 Home departments shall appoint as many of their own surplus employees or laid-off persons as possible, or identify alternative positions (both actual and anticipated) for which individuals can be retrained.

1.1.19 Home departments shall relocate surplus employees and laid-off individuals, if necessary.

1.1.20 Relocation of surplus employees or laid-off persons shall be undertaken when the individuals indicate that they are willing to relocate and relocation will enable their redeployment or reappointment, providing that

or

(b) no available local surplus employees or laid-off persons who are interested and who could qualify with retraining.

1.1.21 The cost of travelling to interviews for possible appointments and of relocation to the new location shall be borne by the employee's home department. Such cost shall be consistent with the Travel and Relocation directives.

1.1.22 For the purposes of the Relocation directive, surplus employees and laid-off persons who relocate under this Appendix shall be deemed to be employees on employer-requested relocations. The general rule on minimum distances for relocation applies.

1.1.23 For the purposes of the Travel directive, laid-off persons travelling to interviews for possible reappointment to public service are deemed to be "other persons travelling on government business".

1.1.24 For the priority period, home departments shall pay the salary costs, and other authorised costs such as tuition, travel, relocation, and retraining for surplus employees and laid-off persons, as provided for in this collective agreement and the various directives; all authorised costs of termination; and salary protection upon lower-level appointment, unless the appointing department is willing to absorb these costs in whole or in part.

1.1.25 Where a surplus employee is appointed by another department to a term position, the home department is responsible for the costs above for one year from the date of such appointment, after which the appointing department becomes the new home department.

1.1.26 Departments shall protect the indeterminate status and surplus priority of a surplus indeterminate employee appointed to a term position under this Appendix.

1.1.27 Departments shall inform the PSC in a timely fashion of the results of all referrals made to them under this Appendix, whether such referrals are for immediate appointment, for retraining designed to qualify individuals for appointment, or for anticipated vacancies.

1.1.28 Departments shall review the use of private temporary agency personnel, employees appointed for a specified period (terms) and all other non-indeterminate employees. Where practicable, departments shall not re-engage such temporary agency personnel nor renew the employment of such employees referred to above where such action would facilitate the appointment of surplus employees or laid-off persons.

1.1.29 Nothing in the foregoing shall restrict the employer's right to engage or appoint persons to meet short-term, non-recurring requirements. Surplus and laid-off persons shall be given priority even for these short-term work opportunities.

1.1.30 Departments may lay off an employee at a date earlier than originally scheduled when the surplus employee requests them to do so in writing.

1.1.32 Departments shall provide surplus employees with a lay-off notice at least one month before the proposed lay-off date, if appointment efforts have been unsuccessful.

1.1.33 When a surplus employee refuses a reasonable job offer, he shall be subject to lay-off one month after the refusal, however not before six months after the surplus declaration date.

1.1.34 Departments are to presume that each employee wishes to be redeployed unless the employee indicates the contrary in writing.

1.1.35 Departments shall inform and counsel affected and surplus employees as early and as completely as possible and shall, in addition, assign a counsellor to each opting and surplus employee and laid-off person to work with them throughout the process. Such counselling is to include explanations and assistance concerning:

1.1.37 Severance pay and other benefits flowing from other clauses in this collective agreement are separate from, and in addition to, those in this Appendix.

and

(b) consider departmental requests for retraining resources.

1.3 The Public Service Commission

1.3.1 The PSC shall establish and modify staffing policies and procedures to ensure the most effective and efficient means of maximizing the redeployment of surplus employees and the appointment of laid-off persons to positions in the public service.

1.3.2 The PSC shall temporarily restrict or suspend any authority delegated to deputy heads to make appointments in specified occupational groups when such action is necessary.

1.3.3 The PSC shall actively market surplus employees and laid-off persons to all departments unless the individuals have advised the PSC in writing that they are not available for appointment.

Part VI
Options for Employees

6.1 General

**

6.1.1 Deputy heads will be expected to provide a guarantee of a reasonable job offer for those affected employees for whom they know or can predict employment availability. A Deputy Head who cannot provide such a guarantee shall provide his reasons in writing, if requested by the employee. Employees in receipt of this guarantee would not have access to the choice of Options below.

6.1.2 Employees who are not in receipt of a guarantee of a reasonable job offer from their deputy head have 90 days to consider the three Options below before a decision is required of them.

6.1.3 The opting employee must choose, in writing, one of the three Options of section 6.3 of this Appendix within the 90-day window. The employee cannot change Options once having made a written choice.

6.1.4 If the employee fails to select an Option, the employee will be deemed to have selected Option (a), Twelve-month surplus priority period in which to secure a reasonable job offer at the end of the 90-day window.

6.1.5 If a reasonable job offer which does not require a relocation is made at any time during the 90-day opting period and prior to the written acceptance of the Transition Support Measure or the Education Allowance Option, the employee is ineligible for the TSM or the Education Allowance.

6.2 Alternation

6.2.1 All departments must participate in the alternation process.

6.2.2 An alternation occurs when an opting employee who wishes to remain in the public service exchanges positions with a non-affected employee (the alternate) willing to leave the public service under the terms of Part VI of this Appendix.

6.2.3 Only an opting employee, not a surplus one, may alternate into an indeterminate position that remains in the public service.

6.2.4 An indeterminate employee wishing to leave the public service may express an interest in alternating with an opting employee. Management will decide, however, whether a proposed alternation will result in retaining the skills required to meet the ongoing needs of the position and the public service.

6.2.5 An alternation must permanently eliminate a function or a position.

6.2.6 The opting employee moving into the unaffected position must meet the requirements of the position, including language requirements. The alternate moving into the opting position must meet the requirements of the position, except if the alternate will not be performing the duties of the position and the alternate will be struck off strength within five days of the alternation.

6.2.7 An alternation should normally occur between employees at the same group and level. When the two positions are not the same group and level, alternation can still occur when the positions can be considered equivalent. They are considered equivalent when the maximum rate of pay for the higher paid position is no more than six-per-cent higher than the maximum rate of pay for the lower paid position.

6.2.8 An alternation must occur on a given date, i.e. two employees directly exchange positions on the same day. There is no provision in alternation for a "domino" effect or for "future considerations".

6.3 Options

6.3.1 Only opting employees who are not in receipt of the guarantee of a reasonable job offer from the deputy head will have access to the choice of Options below:

(a)

(i) Twelve-month surplus priority period in which to secure a reasonable job offer is time-limited. Should a reasonable job offer not be made within a period of twelve months, the employee will be laid off in accordance with the Public Service Employment Act. Employees who choose or are deemed to have chosen this Option are surplus employees.

**

(ii) At the request of the employee, this twelve (12) month surplus priority period shall be extended by the unused portion of the 90-day opting period referred to in 6.1.2 which remains once the employee has selected in writing option (a).

(iii) When a surplus employee who has chosen, or who is deemed to have chosen, Option (a) offers to resign before the end of the twelve-month surplus priority period, the deputy head may authorise a lump-sum payment equal to the surplus employee's regular pay for the balance of the surplus period, up to a maximum of six months. The amount of the lump sum payment for the pay in lieu cannot exceed the maximum of that which he would have received had they chosen Option (b), the Transition Support Measure.

(iv) Departments will make every reasonable effort to market a surplus employee and the Employer will ask the Public Service Commission to make every reasonable effort to market a surplus employee within the employee's surplus period within his preferred area of mobility.

or

(b) Transition Support Measure (TSM) is a cash payment, based on the employee's years of service in the public service (see Annex "B") made to an opting employee. Employees choosing this Option must resign but will be considered to be laid-off for purposes of severance pay.

or

**

(c) Education allowance is a Transitional Support Measure (see Option (b) above) plus an amount of not more than $8000 for reimbursement of receipted expenses of an opting employee for tuition from a learning institution and costs of books and mandatory equipment. Employees choosing Option (c) could either:

(i) resign from the public service but be considered to be laid-off for severance pay purposes on the date of their departure;

or

(ii) delay their departure date and go on leave without pay for a maximum period of two years, while attending the learning institution. The TSM shall be paid in one or two lump-sum amounts over a maximum two-year period. During this period, employees could continue to be public service benefit plan members and contribute both employer and employee share to the benefits plans and the Public Service Superannuation Plan. At the end of the two-year leave without pay period, unless the employee has found alternate employment in the public service, the employee will be laid off in accordance with the Public Service Employment Act.

6.3.2 Management will establish the departure date of opting employees who choose Option (b) or Option (c) above.

6.3.3 The TSM, pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period and the Education Allowance cannot be combined with any other payment under the Work Force Adjustment Appendix.

6.3.4 In the cases of: pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period, Option (b) and (c)(i), the employee relinquishes any priority rights for reappointment upon acceptance of his resignation.

6.3.5 Employees choosing Option (c)(ii) who have not provided their department with a proof of registration from a learning institution 12 months after starting their leave without pay period will be deemed to have resigned from the public service, and be considered to be laid-off for purposes of severance pay.

**

6.3.6 All opting employees will be entitled to up to $400.00 for financial planning advice.

6.3.7 An opting employee who has received pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period, a TSM or an Education Allowance and is re-appointed to that portion of the public service of Canada specified from time to time in Schedule I, Part I of the Public Service Staff Relations Act shall reimburse the Receiver General for Canada by an amount corresponding to the period from the effective date of such re-appointment or hiring, to the end of the original period for which the TSM or Education Allowance was paid.

**

6.3.8 Notwithstanding section 6.3.7, an opting employee who has received an Education Allowance will not be required to reimburse tuition expenses, costs of books and mandatory equipment, for which he cannot get a refund.

6.3.9 The deputy head shall ensure that pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period is only authorised where the employee's work can be discontinued on the resignation date and no additional costs will be incurred in having the work done in any other way during that period.

6.3.10 If a surplus employee who has chosen, or is deemed to have chosen, Option (a) refuses a reasonable job offer at any time during the twelve-month surplus priority period, the employee is ineligible for pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period.

6.3.11 Approval of pay in lieu of unfulfilled surplus period is at the discretion of management, but shall not be unreasonably denied.

6.4 Retention payment

6.4.1 There are three situations in which an employee may be eligible to receive a retention payment. These are total facility closures, relocation of work units and alternative delivery initiatives.

6.4.2 All employees accepting retention payments must agree to leave the public service without priority rights.

6.4.3 An individual who has received a retention payment and, as applicable, is either reappointed to that portion of the public service of Canada specified from time to time in Schedule I, Part I of the Public Service Staff Relations Act, or is hired by the new employer within the six months immediately following his resignation, shall reimburse the Receiver General for Canada by an amount corresponding to the period from the effective date of such re-appointment or hiring, to the end of the original period for which the lump sum was paid.

7.2 General

**

Departments will, as soon as possible after the decision is made to proceed with an ASD initiative, and if possible, not less that 180 days prior to the date of transfer, provide notice to PIPSC.

The notice to PIPSC will include:

In cases of ASD initiatives, the parties will establish a joint WFA-ASD committee to conduct meaningful consultation on the human resources issues related to the ASD initiative in order to provide information to the employee which will assist him in deciding on whether or not to accept the job offer.

1. Commercialisation

In cases of commercialisation where tendering will be part of the process, the members of the joint WFA-ASD committee shall make every reasonable effort to come to an agreement on the criteria related to human resources issues (e.g. terms and conditions of employment, pension and health care benefits, the take-up number of employees) to be used in the request for proposal (RFP) process. The committee will respect the contracting rules of the federal government.

2. Creation of a new Agency

In cases of the creation of new agencies, the members of the joint WFA/ASD committee shall make every reasonable effort to agree on common recommendations related to human resources issues (e.g. terms and conditions of employment, pension, and health care benefits) that should be available at the date of transfer.

3. Transfer to existing employers

In all other ASD initiatives where an employer-employee relationship already exists the parties will hold meaningful consultations to clarify the terms and conditions that will apply upon transfer.

In the cases of commercialisation and creation of new agencies, consultation opportunities will be given to PIPSC; however, in the event that agreements are not possible, the department may still proceed with the transfer.

7.2.1 The provisions of this Part apply only in the case of alternative delivery initiatives and are in exception to other provisions of this Appendix. Employees who are affected by alternative delivery initiatives and who receive job offers from the new employer shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of this part and, only where specifically indicated will other provisions of this Appendix apply to them.

7.2.2 There are three types of transitional employment arrangements resulting from alternative delivery initiatives:

(a) Type 1 (Full Continuity)

Type 1 arrangements meet all of the following criteria:

(i) legislated successor rights apply. Specific conditions for successor rights applications will be determined by the labour legislation governing the new employer;

(ii) the Public Service Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations, the terms of the collective agreement referred to therein and/or the applicable compensation plan will continue to apply to unrepresented and excluded employees until modified by the new employer;

(iii) recognition of continuous employment in the public service, as defined in the Public Service Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations, for purposes of determining the employee's entitlements under the collective agreement continued due to the application of successor rights;

(iv) pension arrangements according to the Statement of Pension Principles set out in Annex "A", or, in cases where the test of reasonableness set out in that Statement is not met, payment of a lump-sum to employees pursuant to section 7.7.3;

(v) transitional employment guarantee: a two-year minimum employment guarantee with the new employer;

(vi) coverage in each of the following core benefits: health benefits, long term disability insurance (LTDI) and dental plan;

(vii) short-term disability bridging: recognition of the employee's earned but unused sick leave credits up to maximum of the new employer's LTDI waiting period.

(b) Type 2 (Substantial Continuity)

Type 2 arrangements meet all of the following criteria:

(i) the average new hourly salary offered by the new employer (= rate of pay + equal pay adjustments + supervisory differential) for the group moving is 85 per cent or greater of the group's current federal hourly remuneration (= pay + equal pay adjustments + supervisory differential), when the hours of work are the same;

(ii) the average annual salary of the new employer (= rate of pay + equal pay adjustments + supervisory differential) for the group moving is 85 per cent or greater of federal annual remuneration (= per cent or greater of federal annual remuneration (= pay + equal pay adjustments + supervisory differential), when the hours of work are different;

(v) coverage in each area of the following core benefits: health benefits, long-term disability insurance (LTDI) and dental plan;

(vi) short-term disability arrangement.

(c) Type 3 (Lesser Continuity)

A Type 3 arrangement is any alternative delivery initiative that does not meet the criteria applying in Type 1 and 2 transitional employment arrangements.

7.2.3 For Type 1 and Type 2 transitional employment arrangements, the offer of employment from the new employer will be deemed to constitute a reasonable job offer for purposes of this part.

7.2.4 For Type 3 transitional employment arrangements, an offer of employment from the new employer will not be deemed to constitute a reasonable job offer for purposes of this part.

7.3 Responsibilities

7.3.1 Deputy heads will be responsible for deciding, after considering the criteria set out above, which of the Types applies in the case of particular alternative delivery initiatives.

7.3.2 Employees directly affected by alternative delivery initiatives are responsible for seriously considering job offers made by new employers and advising the home department of their decision within the allowed period.

7.4 Notice of alternative delivery initiatives

7.4.1 Where alternative delivery initiatives are being undertaken, departments shall provide written notice to all employees offered employment by the new employer, giving them the opportunity to choose whether they wish to accept the offer.

7.4.2 Following written notification, employees must indicate within a period of 60 days their intention to accept the employment offer, except in the case of Type 3 arrangements, where home departments may specify a period shorter than 60 days, but not less than 30 days.

7.5 Job offers from new employers

7.5.1 Employees subject to this Appendix (see Application) and who do not accept the reasonable job offer from the new employer in the case of Type 1 or 2 transitional employment arrangements will be given four months notice of termination of employment and their employment will be terminated at the end of that period or on a mutually agreed upon date before the end of the four month notice period except where the employee was unaware of the offer or incapable of indicating an acceptance of the offer as provided for in subsection 11(2.02) of the Financial Administration Act (FAA).

7.5.2 The deputy head may extend the notice of termination period for operational reasons, but no such extended period may end later than the date of the transfer to the new employer.

7.5.3 Employees who do not accept a job offer from the new employer in the case of Type 3 transitional employment arrangements may be declared opting or surplus by the deputy head in accordance with the provisions of the other parts of this Appendix. For greater certainty, those who are declared surplus will be subject to the provisions of section 29 of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and section 39 of the Public Service Employment Regulations (PSER).

7.5.4 Employees who accept a job offer from the new employer in the case of any alternative delivery initiative will have their employment terminated on the date on which the transfer becomes effective, or on another date that may be designated by the home department for operational reasons provided that this does not create a break in continuous service between the public service and the new employer.

7.6 Application of other provisions of the Appendix

7.6.1 For greater certainty, the provisions of Part II, Official Notification, and section 6.4, Retention Payment, will apply in the case of an employee who refuses an offer of employment in the case of a Type 1 or 2 transitional employment arrangement. A payment under section 6.4 may not be combined with a payment under the other section.

7.7 Lump-sum payments and salary top-up allowances

7.7.1 Employees who are subject to this Appendix (see Application) and who accept the offer of employment from the new employer in the case of Type 2 transitional employment arrangements will receive a sum equivalent to three months pay, payable upon the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer. The home department will also pay these employees an 18-month salary top-up allowance equivalent to the difference between the remuneration applicable to their public service position and the salary applicable to their position with the new employer. This allowance will be paid as a lump-sum, payable on the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer.

7.7.2 In the case of individuals who accept an offer of employment from the new employer in the case of a Type 2 arrangement whose new hourly or annual salary falls below 80 per cent of their former federal hourly or annual remuneration, departments will pay an additional six months of salary top-up allowance for a total of 24-months under this section and section 7.7.1. The salary top-up allowance equivalent to the difference between the remuneration applicable to their public service position and the salary applicable to their position with the new employer will be paid as a lump-sum payable on the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer.

7.7.3 Employees who accept the reasonable job offer from the successor employer in the case of a Type 1 or Type 2 transitional employment arrangement where the test of reasonableness referred to in the Statement of Pension Principles set out in Annex "A" is not met, that is, where the actuarial value (cost) of the new employer's pension arrangements are less than 6.5 per cent of pensionable payroll (excluding the employer's costs related to the administration of the plan) will receive a sum equivalent to three months pay, payable on the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer.

7.7.4 Employees who accept an offer of employment from the new employer in the case of Type 3 transitional employment arrangements will receive a sum equivalent to six months pay payable on the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer. The home department will also pay these employees a 12-month salary top-up allowance equivalent to the difference between the remuneration applicable to their public service position and the salary applicable to their position with the new employer. The allowance will be paid as a lump-sum, payable on the day on which the departmental work or function is transferred to the new employer. The total of the lump-sum payment and the salary top-up allowance provided under this section will not exceed an amount equivalent to one year's pay.

7.7.5 For the purposes of 7.7.1, 7.7.2 and 7.7.4, the term "remuneration" includes and is limited to salary plus equal pay adjustments, if any, and supervisory differential, if any.

7.8 Reimbursement

7.8.1 An individual who receives a lump-sum payment and salary top-up allowance pursuant to subsection 7.7.1, 7.7.2, 7.7.3 or 7.7.4 and who is reappointed to that portion of the public service of Canada specified from time to time in Schedule I to the Public Service Staff Relations Act at any point during the period covered by the total of the lump-sum payment and salary top-up allowance, if any, shall reimburse the Receiver General for Canada by an amount corresponding to the period from the effective date of re-appointment to the end of the original period covered by the total of the lump-sum payment and salary top-up allowance, if any.

7.8.2 An individual who receives a lump-sum payment pursuant to subsection 7.6.1 and, as applicable, is either reappointed to that portion of the public service of Canada specified from time to time in Schedule I to the Public Service Staff Relations Act or hired by the new employer at any point covered by the lump-sum payment, shall reimburse the Receiver General for Canada by an amount corresponding to the period from the effective date of the reappointment or hiring to the end of the original period covered by the lump-sum payment.

7.9 Vacation leave credits and severance pay

7.9.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of this collective agreement concerning vacation leave, an employee who accepts a job offer pursuant to this part may choose not to be paid for earned but unused vacation leave credits, provided that the new employer will accept these credits.

7.9.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of this collective agreement concerning severance pay, an employee who accepts a reasonable job offer pursuant to this part will not be paid severance pay where successor rights apply and/or, in the case of a Type 2 transitional employment arrangement, when the new employer recognizes the employee's years of continuous employment in the public service for severance pay purposes and provides severance pay entitlements similar to the employee's severance pay entitlements at the time of the transfer.

7.9.3 Where:

(a) the conditions set out in 7.9.2 are not met,

(b) the severance provisions of this collective agreement are extracted from this collective agreement prior to the date of transfer to another non-federal public sector employer,

(c) the employment of an employee is terminated pursuant to the terms of section 7.5.1,

or

(d) the employment of an employee who accepts a job offer from the new employer in a Type 3 transitional employment arrangement is terminated on the transfer of the function to the new employer

the employee shall be deemed, for purposes of severance pay, to be involuntarily laid off on the day on which employment in the public service terminates.

Annex "A" - Statement of Pension Principles

1. The new employer will have in place, or Her Majesty in right of Canada will require the new employer to put in place, reasonable pension arrangements for transferring employees. The test of "reasonableness" will be that the actuarial value (cost) of the new employer pension arrangements will be at least 6.5 per cent of pensionable payroll, which in the case of defined-benefit pension plans will be as determined by the Assessment Methodology developed by Towers Perrin for the Treasury Board, dated October 7, 1997. This Assessment Methodology will apply for the duration of this collective agreement. Where there is no reasonable pension arrangement in place on the transfer date or no written undertaking by the new employer to put such reasonable pension arrangement in place effective on the transfer date, subject to the approval of Parliament and a written undertaking by the new employer to pay the employer costs, Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA) coverage could be provided during a transitional period of up to a year.

2. Benefits in respect of service accrued to the point of transfer are to be fully protected.

3. Her Majesty in right of Canada will seek portability arrangements between the Public Service Superannuation Plan and the pension plan of the new employer where a portability arrangement does not yet exist. Furthermore, Her Majesty in right of Canada will seek authority to permit employees the option of counting their service with the new employer for vesting and benefit thresholds under the PSSA.

**APPENDIX "R"

PROCESS TO DECIDE IF THE RECRUITMENT,
RETENTION OR EXPANDED ROLE
OF PRACTICE ALLOWANCE CAN BE
EXTENDED TO A TYPE 3 COMMUNITY

The following reproduces the English version of a memorandum sent by Ian Potter, Assistant Deputy Minister, First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Health Canada to FNIHB Regional Directors on 15 January 2002.

In the course of recent contract negotiations with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), five Community Workload Increase Systems (CWIS) Type 3 communities have been identified1 where the union reports that the nurses in these health facilities are providing care twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and are practicing an expanded scope of nursing practice. According to the collective agreement, because these communities are not designated as CWIS Type 1 or 2, the nursing staff will not receive the expanded professional role allowance, or the recruitment or the retention allowances until such time that the employer makes a decision to extend the allowances.

There is a documented process established to allow for full senior management review and decision regarding whether the level of nursing services in a Type 3 community warrants extension of these allowances to nurses working in that facility. To date this process has not been exercised and, as a result, an outstanding union's concern regarding five Type 3 communities remains unresolved.

In order to bring resolution to this issue I propose the following course of action. As a first step, the request for extension of these allowances to the nurses working in the communities in question must be brought to the respective Regional Union Management Consultation Committee (UMCC). The Regional Director, together with the Regional Nursing Officer (RNO), and a representative of PIPSC will review the nursing service requirements of each of the communities identified by the union in Alberta and Ontario. This review will take place within 90 days of the signing of the new agreement. The results of this review and resulting recommendations, will be brought forward by the respective Regional Directors to the next First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) Executive Committee meeting for final decision as per the established Branch process developed in May 2000.

Furthermore, to ensure that all levels of management in the Regions are aware of this established process for review and decision regarding the level of nursing service in a Type 3 community as it relates to the allowances for nurses, I will outline the process in a memorandum to the FNIHB Regional Directors which will be distributed to Regional managers at all levels within 60 days of the signing of the Health Services (HS) agreement.
