Cost of Living cost of living will remain inop- erative for the life of this agreement. All employees covered by this Agreement shall be entitled to a cost-of-living allowance based on the following: The amount of cost-of-living allowance shall be determined and redetermined as provided below on the basis of the All Canada Consumer Price Index published by Statistics Canada (1971 = and referred to herein as the "Index". The first (1st) pay period in which the living allowance, if any, will apply, shall be the second (2nd) pay period in October, and shall continue in effect until and including the second (2nd) pay period in January, At that time and thereafter, adjustments in the cost of-living allowance shall be made quarter- annually on the basis of the changes in the Index as follows: Effective date of adjustment the second pay period in October, and at quarterly inter- vals thereafter based upon: As of September and as of quarterly intervals thereafter, as follows: September, December, 2nd pay period in October 2nd pay period in January 2nd pay period in April The amounts of cost-of-living by the above readings will be deemed to he folded into the base rates where applies. In the event that Statistics Canada shall not issue the appropriate Index on or before the first week of the month following the pay period referred to in the above table, any adjustment in the allowance required by such Index shall be effective at the beginning of the first (1st) pay period after receipt of such Index. No adjustment retroactive or otherwise shall be made in the amount of the cost-of-living allowance due to any revision which later may be made in the published figures for the Index for any month on the basis of which the allowance has been determined. The amount of the cost-of-living allowance which shall be effective for any such quarterly period shall be determined in accordance with a table set up using the June, Consumer Price Index as a start of the table and continu- ing with a increase equaling zero and a one cent or Mill adjustment for each in Index. cost-of-living allowance shall not to the base rates for any classification, but only to each straight-time hourly or mileage earnings. A decline in Index below the reading shall not result in a reduction of clas- sification base rates. Continuance of the cost-of-living allowance shall be contingent upon the continued avail- ability of official monthly Consumer Price Index in its present form and calculated on same basis as Index of
COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCE 29:01 All employees within the Bargaining Unit shall be paid a cost of living allowance based on the cost of living formula as set forth below: The cost of living allowance will be determined in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index, published by Statistics Canada (1961 = 100) and hereinafter referred to as the Consumer Price Index. The base Consumer Price Index shall be the Consumer Price Index for February 2016. The first (1st) cost of living adjustment shall be based on the Consumer Price Index of May, 2016, and each three (3) months thereafter compared to the base Consumer Price Index for February 2016. Cost of living adjustments shall be made on pay periods commencing 11:59 p.m. on the following dates: July 5, 2016; October 11, 2016; January 17, 2017; and April 10, 2017. The cost of living rate adjustment shall be One ($0.01) Cent per hour for each point five (.5) change in the Consumer Price Index. The cost of living allowance will be adjusted up or down if and as required for each quarterly period in accordance with the above mentioned formula, provided, however, that in no event will a decline in the Consumer Price Index below the figure as recorded for February, 2016, minus 2.5 points provide a basis for further reduction in the straight time rates set forth in Schedule "A" of the within Agreement. The amount of cost of living Allowance in effect at any time shall be included in computing vacation pay, holiday pay, call-in pay, sick pay, paid leave of absence and Workplace Safety Insurance Board payments. The amount of cost of living allowance shall be included in computing overtime pay except that there shall be no pyramiding as stated in clause 19:06 of the within Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, the cost of living rate adjustment less Five ($0.05) Cents* will be added to the base rates set forth in Schedule "A" in order to create new base rates - said new base rates to be effective as of July 1, 2016. Upon creation of new base rates as provided in the preceding paragraph, a new base Consumer Price Index shall be established and shall be calculated as being the Consumer Price Index for February 2016 minus 2.5 points. This article shall be frozen during the life of the Collective Agreement and no monies will be generated or paid during the term of the Collective Agreement. *The Five ($0.05) Cents referred to was folded into the Base Hourly Wage Rates noted in Schedule “A” effective July 1, 1986. The University of Windsor and C.U.P.E., Local 1001 recognize that some Employees in the Bargaining Unit are using the Sick Leave Plan for illness and various medical appointments above the normal average within the University staff. The Union believes it is the duty of the Employer to manage the Sick Leave Plan and the Union's duty to represent their members eligible to receive sick pay to the best of their ability. To assist the Employer with their concern over the use of the Plan and to protect the interest of the members against any possible erosion of the existing Plan, the Union agrees to counsel all employees by letter and by presentations at general meetings on the need for regular attendance. Further, the Union will encourage members, whenever possible, to schedule appointments after their shift has concluded or as near to the end of their shift as possible.
Wage Adjustments If the funding available to be used for wages provided by Government in any fiscal year increases, the Employer shall pass on such increases to employees consistent with the funding increase adjusted for any additional deficits that this contract incurs. This will be the case whether the funding increase is for the entire year or simply a portion of it, and wage increases shall be effective upon the effective date of the increased funding. Should there be no increase provided by Government, wages will be maintained at their present levels. Should there be a decrease in funding, then the Employer will maintain wages at present levels. The Employer will promptly provide the Union with any information it receives from the Government regarding funding available for wages, and the parties will meet as required to work towards cooperative resolution of any issues arising from this Government information.
Cost Adjustments Both parties agree that contracted prices shall be fixed for the first 12 months of this Contract. Contractor must submit to District any proposed cost adjustments at least 60 days before the proposed effective date of such increases with a detailed explanation for each adjustment. District alone reserves the right to reject any changes to this Contract it deems unacceptable.
True-Up Adjustments From time to time, until the Retirement of the Recovery Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need for True-Up Adjustments and shall take all reasonable action to obtain and implement such True-Up Adjustments, all in accordance with the following:
Workplace adjustment An employer wishing to employ a person under the provisions of this clause shall take reasonable steps to make changes in the workplace to enhance the employee’s capacity to do the job. Changes may involve re-design of job duties, working time arrangements and work organisation in consultation with other employees in the area.
PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT If THE COMPANY overpays a reinsurance premium and THE REINSURER accepts the overpayment, THE REINSURER’s acceptance will not constitute or create a reinsurance liability or increase in any existing reinsurance liability. Instead, THE REINSURER will be liable to THE COMPANY for a credit in the amount of the overpayment. If a reinsured policy terminates, THE REINSURER will refund the excess reinsurance premium. This refund will be on a prorated basis without interest from the date of termination of the policy to the date to which a reinsurance premium has been paid.
Sustainability Adjustments (a) DEI may deliver a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent in respect of the most recently ended calendar year on any date prior to the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (the date the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof, each a “Pricing Certificate Date”), which DEI may or may not do, in its sole discretion. If DEI so delivers a Pricing Certificate in respect of a calendar year, (i) the Applicable Percentage for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate, and (ii) the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Fee Adjustment as set forth in such KPI Metrics Certificate. If no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of a calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in respect of such calendar year shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c). For purposes of the foregoing, (A) if a Pricing Certificate is so delivered for any calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following the Pricing Certificate Date for such Pricing Certificate based upon the KPI Metrics for such calendar year set forth in the KPI Metrics Certificate delivered with such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment in such KPI Metrics Certificate and (B) if no Pricing Certificate is so delivered in respect of such calendar year, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment shall be determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c) effective as of the Business Day immediately following the date that is 120 days following the last day of such calendar year (such fifth (5th) Business Day or such Business Day, as applicable, each a “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”). Each change in the Applicable Percentages on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall be effective during the period commencing on and including such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate, zero Pricing Certificates) may be delivered in respect of any calendar year. It is further understood and agreed that the Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans incurred by DEI will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.05% and that the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit will never be reduced or increased by more than 0.01%, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment, respectively, on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Percentages for such Revolving Loans or such Facility Fee by reason of meeting one or several KPI Metrics in any calendar year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. The adjustments pursuant to this Section made on any Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date shall only apply for the period until the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(c) It is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Pricing Certificate with respect to a calendar year is delivered by DEI within the period set forth in this Section 1.7, the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 0.05% and the Sustainability Fee Adjustment will be positive 0.01% commencing on the last day of such period and continuing until the day immediately prior to the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date.
(d) If (i)(A) a Borrower or any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in a Pricing Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and, in the case of any Lender, such Lender delivers, not later than 10 Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Borrowers), or (B) the Borrowers and the Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of a Pricing Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in any event within 10 Business Days after the Borrowers have received written notice of, or have agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. If a Borrower becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit for any period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Borrowers of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Percentages for the Revolving Loans incurred by DEI and the Facility Fee for Commitments under the DEI Sublimit shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Sustainability Fee Adjustment or the KPI Metrics, as applicable.
(e) It is understood and agreed that any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Borrowers comply with the terms of this Section 1.7 with respect to such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to a Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable event under non-U.S. debtor relief laws), (a) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant the immediate preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the date that is 10 Business Days after a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph, (b) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to or upon such demand for payment by Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (c) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate provided in Section 3.1(b) prior to the date that is 10 Business Days after such a demand.
(f) Each party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by any Borrower of any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Fee Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).
(g) As soon as available and in any event within 120 days following the end of each calendar year (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2021), a Pricing Certificate for the most recently-ended calendar year may be provided by DEI as set forth in this Section 1.7; provided, that, for any calendar year the Borrowers may elect not to deliver a Pricing Certificate, such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Pricing Certificate by the end of such 120-day period shall result in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and Sustainability Fee Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 1.7(c).
(h) In the event Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries acquire or divest a business, facility or Subsidiary with Capacity in excess of 100MW, the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold shall be adjusted to account for such acquisition or divestiture such that the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold remain neutral to such acquisition or disposition in a manner and methodology that are the same as those used in determining the original Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and the Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a certificate that (i) calculates in reasonable detail such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold and (ii) restates Exhibit 1.7-1 with such adjusted amounts, and, if Lenders constituting Required Lenders have not objected to such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold within 5 Business Days of such delivery, then Exhibit 1.7-1 shall be deemed amended to reflect such adjusted Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Target and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity Percentage Threshold.
