A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE is an Employee who has successfully completed the probationary period in the service of the Employer.
A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE including a part time employee, shall be entitled to paid compassionate lave not exceeding the Employee’s ordinary working hour’s for three ordinary working days for each occasion when a member of the Employee’s immediate family or a member of their household has a personal illness or injury that poses a serious threat to his or her life, or dies. There is no limit to the number of permissible occasions for which and Employee may take compassionate leave. An employee may take additional unpaid compassionate leave if they require extra reasonable time as negotiated with management. The Employee shall furnish proof of such illness, injury or death if so requested.
A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE other than a Casual Employee, required to attend for jury service during their ordinary hours of work shall be reimbursed by the Employer an amount equal to the difference between the amount paid in respect of their attendance for such jury service and the ordinary hourly rate the Employee would have been paid if the Employee was not absent on jury service.
A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE is an Employee who has successfully completed the probationary period in the services of the Employer. A PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEE is an Employee hired for a period of up to six ( 6 ) consecutive months in the service of the Employer. A Probationary Employee who remains in the service of the Employer longer than six (6) consecutive months shall automatically become a Permanent Employee unless such probationary period is extended by mutual consent between the Employer and the union. The employment of a Probationary Employee may be terminated at any time during the six (6) consecutive month probationary period or extension thereto, without recourse to the Grievance Procedure, unless the Union claims discrimination under Article of this Agreement.
