Harassment and Discrimination The parties agree that the process for dealing with harassment for reasons not specifically prohibited by the Ontario Human Rights Code is an appropriate subject matter at Labour Management Committee meetings. BETWEEN: AND: The Employer agrees that employees may be permitted to transfer at the Employer's discretion from one nursing home to another for their own personal convenience and at their own expense, subject to the following conditions:
DISCIPLINE AND DISMISSAL 27.01 The Employer may discipline, suspend or dismiss an employee for just cause only, except for the dismissal of a probationary Employee. Unsatisfactory conduct or performance by an Employee which is considered by the Employer to be serious enough to be entered on the Employee's record but not serious enough to warrant suspension or dismissal shall result in a written warning to the Employee and a copy to the Union within fifteen (15) days of the date the Employer first became aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of the occurrence of the act. The Union shall not deny a request by the Employer to extend the timelines due to availability of persons identified by the Employer to be interviewed. A written warning that is grieved and determined to be unjustified shall be removed from the Employee's record.
27.02 In the event an Employee is suspended or dismissed, the Employer shall provide written reasons for the suspension or dismissal to the Employee and the Union forthwith and in any event not later than five (5) days of the action being taken. The action or suspension or dismissal shall be within fifteen (15) days of the date the Employer first became aware of, or reasonably should have become aware of the occurrence of the act, giving rise to the suspension or dismissal. The Union shall not deny a request by the Employer to extend the timelines due to unavailability of persons identified by the Employer to be interviewed. When action involves a suspension, the notice shall specify the time period of the suspension.
27.03 An Employee who has been subject to disciplinary action may after two (2) years of continuous service from the date the disciplinary measure was invoked, request in writing that their personnel file be cleared of any record of the disciplinary action. Such request shall be granted provided the Employee's file does not contain any further record of disciplinary action during the two (2) year period of which the Employee is aware. The Employer shall confirm in writing to the Employee that such action has been effected.
27.04 The procedures stated in Articles 27.01, 27.02 and 27.03 do not prevent immediate suspension or dismissal for just cause.
(a) An Employee required by the Employer to attend an investigation meeting or a disciplinary discussion shall be paid at the applicable rate of pay for time spent in that meeting.
(b) Where circumstances permit, the Employer shall schedule a disciplinary discussion with the Employee by giving reasonable advance notice which shall not be less than twenty-four (24) hours. At such discussion an Employee may be accompanied by a representative of the Union.
27.06 In the event that an Employee is reported to their licensing body by the Employer, the Employee shall be so advised, and unless otherwise requested a written copy shall be forwarded to the Union forthwith. In the event, an Employee is reported to their licensing body, by someone other than the Employer, the Employee shall advise the Employer of such and the Employee may copy the Union on such notification.
27.07 An Employee absent for three (3) consecutive work days without good and proper reason and without notifying the Employer shall be considered to have terminated their Employment with the Employer.
27.08 For the purposes of this Article, periods of time referred to in days shall be deemed to mean consecutive calendar days exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Named Holidays, which are specified in Article 19.
Release of Claims Under Age Discrimination in Employment Act Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive agrees that by executing this Release, he has released and waived any and all claims he has or may have as of the date of this Release for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621, et seq. It is understood that Executive is advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release; that he in fact has consulted a knowledgeable, competent attorney regarding this Release; that he may, before executing this Release, consider this Release for a period of twenty-one (21) calendar days; and that the consideration he receives for this Release is in addition to amounts to which he was already entitled. It is further understood that this Release is not effective until seven (7) calendar days after the execution of this Release and that Executive may revoke this Release within seven (7) calendar days from the date of execution hereof.
INJURY AND DISABILITY 23.01 Where an Employee is absent due to illness or injury which is compensable by WSIB, the following shall apply:
(a) The Employee will not be eligible for paid holidays, sick leave, uniform allowance, or any other benefits of this Agreement, except where specified otherwise, during any absence covered by WSIB.
(b) Provided that the Employee returns to work within fifty-two (52) consecutive weeks of the date of illness or injury, time spent on WSIB shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of calculating the current year’s vacation entitlement under the terms of the Agreement.
23.02 In the case of an absence due to a compensable accident, the Employee will be paid at her regular rate of pay for all scheduled hours on the day of the accident.
23.03 In the case of an absence due to a compensable accident, where the anticipated length of such absence is four (4) months or more, the Employer will post notice of the vacancy in accordance with the job posting procedure (Article 11) of this Agreement. Where the anticipated absence is less than four (4) months, the Employer may fill the position at its discretion.
23.04 The injured Employee shall have a period of thirty-six (36) months from the date of the injury within which she shall preserve the seniority which she has accrued in accordance with Article 9 and within which she shall have the right to return to work upon the recommendation of the WSIB or the attending physician, which shall indicate to the Employer that the Employee has the physical capability to perform her normal job.
(a) If a full-time Employee returns to work within fifty-two (52) weeks following the commencement of a WSIB claim, and the Employee’s former permanent position still exists, the Employee will be returned to her former job, former shift if designated, classification and rate of pay. All Employees who fill vacancies as a result of the above absences shall likewise be returned to their former permanent positions.
(b) If an Employee returns to work after fifty-two (52) weeks following the commencement of the WSIB claim but prior to thirty-six (36) months mentioned in Article 23.04 above, she shall be returned to her former job, or to work of a comparable nature at the same salary level and without loss of seniority or benefits accrued in accordance with Article 9. (This would be effected by the returning Employee displacing the Employee with the least seniority in the category to which she is returning.)
23.06 If, on the recommendation of the WSIB or the attending physician, the Employee is capable only of performing work of a different kind or of a lighter nature, and such work is available within the Home in a classification that is covered by this Agreement, then the returning Employee may exercise her seniority if he/she has the qualifications and can perform the duties without training other than orientation, by bumping into the job at the applicable salary level, displacing the Employee with the least seniority in the classification.
DISMISSAL, SUSPENSION AND DISCIPLINE 14 ARTICLE 12 - SENIORITY 16
DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE 13.01 Whenever the Corporation deems it necessary to discipline, suspend or discharge an employee, the Corporation shall advise the employee within fourteen (14) days of becoming aware of the incident, giving written particulars of such censure to the employee with a copy to the President of the Union.

13.06 Any disciplinary notation or warning in writing shall be removed from an employee's record after a period of eighteen (18) months in which he has not received any disciplinary warning or suspension. The Employer shall provide any disciplinary letter within a reasonable period of time. In the case of any unreasonable delay in issuing such letter, the parties may by strict mutual agreement revise the date of issuance accordingly.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean that Employee is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. For purposes of determining Employee’s Disability, the CEO may rely on a determination by the Social Security Administration that Employee is totally disabled or a determination by the Company’s disability insurance carrier that Employee has satisfied the above definition of Disability. In case of such termination, Employee shall be entitled to receive his Base Salary, any unpaid bonus awards (including any bonus award for a plan year that has ended prior to the time employment terminated where the award was scheduled to be paid after the date employment terminated), reimbursable expenses and benefits owing to Employee through the date of termination within 30 days of the date of the Company’s determination of Employee’s Disability, together with any benefits payable under any disability insurance program in which Employee is a participant.

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION It is the policy of the District that in connection with all work performed under Contracts there be no discrimination against any employee engaged in the work because of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religious creed, physical disability, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, or age and therefore the Consultant agrees to comply with applicable Federal and California laws including, but not limited to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act beginning with Government Code Section 12900 and Labor Code Section 1735 and District policy. In addition, the Consultant agrees to require like compliance by all of its subcontractor(s).
