Creation of New Occupations. When a new occupation is created the parties will negotiate its inclusion or exclusion. Permanent Employees May Request Review of Their Classification When a permanent employee believes the assigned duties and responsibilities have altered sufficiently to justify a review as to the appropriateness of the position classification, they may request a classification review. An employee must document the changes to the assignment. Utilizing the approved job profile document, the employee may request a job profile review which is to be signed and acknowledged by the employee and the manager. When, as a result of a classification review a position is permanently reclassified to a higher classification level it will be effective the first day of the pay period immediately following the day on which the request was received by Human Resources. Notwithstanding the above, Human Resources may make the reclassification effective retroactive up to six (6) months from the date the request was received by Human Resources. There shall be no retroactive application of the hours of work designation. When a position is reclassified to a classification level with a lower maximum hourly rate of pay, it will be effective the first day of the pay period immediately following the date of the classification decision. When an employee resigns and leaves the Employer, any outstanding requests for review of their classification within the one hundred and twenty (120) calendar day period prior to the effective date of such resignation shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. Furthermore, appeals of classification decisions in respect of such requests shall also be deemed to have been withdrawn. However, at the request of the estate of a deceased employee, the Union shall appoint an advocate to represent the estate to expedite an outstanding classification action. Status of Employees on Reclassification Reclassification Where an employee is assigned duties such that statutory qualifications are required and the employee does not have such qualifications, the employee will immediately vacate the position and be subject to the employment security provisions of this agreement. If the employee is qualified, he/she continues in the position. If the reclassification results in a promotion the reclassification challenge provisions will apply.
