Common use of Assignments of Greater than One Week Clause in Contracts

Assignments of Greater than One Week. Pursuant to Clause 31.12(d), an auxiliary employee who has been pre-schedule to work an assignment of one week or longer (a lock-in assignment) is entitled to STIIP benefits if they commence work and work at least one-half shift of that assignment. If an auxiliary does not work one-half of one shift of a pre-scheduled assignment, Clause 2 (Work Offered Through Daily Recall) above applies and they may be eligible for STIIP benefits if they are replaced on a daily basis. (a) In order to meet the requirement of working one-half day, the auxiliary must actually attend work for one-half day. Vacation, statutory holidays and other paid or unpaid leaves do not count as time worked. Training, travel time, and other assignments outside of the workplace count as time worked. (b) An auxiliary employee who is unable to commence work and work at least one-half of a shift of a lock-in is entitled to STIIP benefits for the first five workdays if their shift is replaced, in accordance with Clause 2 (Work Offered Through Daily Recall) above. Once the employee has provided acceptable medical documentation that supports their continuing inability to work, STIIP benefits will be paid in accordance with the shift lengths that had originally been scheduled for the balance of the assignment of greater than one week. (c) STIIP benefits would continue to be paid until the end of the assignment and during any immediately following lock-in assignment (as long as the employee continues to submit acceptable medical documentation on a monthly basis) until the STIIP benefits period is exhausted or the employee is able to return to work, whichever occurs first. (d) Where a subsequent lock-in assignment is not available, an auxiliary who continues to remain sick beyond the end of a lock-in assignment will be paid STIIP benefits based on the applicable rules for the term of the assignment that immediately follows (i.e., daily recall or pre-scheduled work).
