SHAM CONTRACTING 49.1 Sham Contracting occurs when an Employer engages an individual to perform building work under a contract for services where the true character of the engagement or proposed engagement is that of employment. 49.2 The Employer agrees they will not engage in Sham Contracting and recognises that the practice of sham contracting is unlawful and undermines the job security of the Employees covered by this Agreement. 49.3 The Employer will not enter into a contract with another person (“the Contractor”) under which services in the nature of building work are to be provided to the employer, if: (a) the services are to be performed by an individual (who is not the Contractor); and the individual has any ownership in, or is an officer or trustee of, the contractor; and (b) if the contract were entered into with the individual, the contract would be a contract of employment. 49.4 The Employer will maintain records about any Contractors that it has engaged in the preceding month which will include: (a) the name of the Contractor; (b) the owner(s) of the Contractor; (c) the works that the Contractor was engaged to perform; (d) basis on which the Contractor was paid for the work e.g. lump sum/fixed price, daily rate, other; and 49.5 The Employer will, within 7 days of receiving a written request from the Union, provide a copy of the records which it is required to keep pursuant to the previous subclause. Nothing in this subclause requires the Employer to provide information in a manner that is inconsistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). 49.6 Where in breach of this clause a sham contract was in place, such that that Contractor was in fact an Employee under this Agreement, the calculation for back pay will be calculated on the basis of the difference between what they were paid under sham contract arrangement and: (a) 175% of the applicable hourly rate contained in this Agreement; and (b) the Site Allowance (if applicable); and (c) the multi-story allowance (if applicable); and (d) Superannuation (BUSSQ), XXXX, CIPQ and BEWT.

Union Business (a) The Hospital shall grant leave of absence without pay to employees to attend Union conventions, seminars, education classes and other Union business in connection with the administration of the collective agreement provided that such leave will not interfere with the efficient operation of the Hospital. Such leave will not be unreasonably denied. In requesting such leave of absence for an employee or employees, the Union must give at least fourteen (14) days clear notice in writing to the Hospital, unless not reasonably possible to give such notice. The cumulative total leave of absence, the number of employees that may be absent at any one time from any one area, and the number of days of absence shall be negotiated locally and are set out in the Local Provisions Appendix. During such leave of absence, the employee's salary and applicable benefits shall be maintained by the Hospital on the basis of what his normal regular hours of work would have been, provided that the Union reimburses the Hospital in the amount of such salary and applicable benefits within thirty (30) days of billing. Notwithstanding the above, time spent by the eight (8) Executive Board members and seven (7) Alternate Executive Board members of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions to fulfill the duties of the position shall be in addition to leave for Union Business under this clause. Part-time and casual employees will be given full credit for seniority purposes for regularly scheduled hours missed in accordance with this provision. (b) In addition to the above, a part-time or casual employee who is attending to union business when not regularly scheduled to work shall be deemed to be on union leave and the amount of such leave shall not be deducted from the number of days of absence identified above.
