Competency Related Inadequacies. In situations where it can be demonstrated that a regular employee, not covered by Article 6.01, is failing to meet the performance expectations of her/his job due to competency-related inadequacies, the following provisions will apply:
i) the Corporation will provide a written notice to the employee, with a copy to the Union, outlining the inadequacies.
ii) the supervisor and the employee will work together, for a period of not less than three (3) months, in an endeavour to raise the employee's performance to an acceptable level of competency.
iii) the employee will be apprised of her/his progress during the aforementioned period at intervals of not less than one (1) month. Where an employee's performance fails to improve to an acceptable level by the end of the above-stated period, the Corporation will endeavour to place the employee in a job more suited to the employee's aptitude, skills, and abilities. In such instances, the Union will cooperate by waiving job postings, as required. Where necessary, employees placed in such positions will be provided with an orientation period equivalent to that of a new probationary employee as set out in Article 5.02. Should no job be available which is suitable to the employee's aptitude, skills, and abilities, her/his employment may be terminated in accordance with Article 5.05. Following termination the employee will be considered for any job vacancy which comes available within the following six (6) months that is suited to the employee's aptitude, skills and abilities. The period devoted to performance improvement will not be less than three (3) months, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties.
