94.2 In giving consideration to the employee’s application to move to part-time work for a fixed period, the School will take into account the following:
(a) the employee’s particular circumstances that give rise to the application;
(b) the impact that refusal of the application may have on the employee and his/her family; and

14.5 Employees who have completed the appropriate company designated training, and if the employer determines that the employee’s skills can be productively utilized, can be placed on a year round wage rate at the appropriate classification or designated trained rate. i.e. if their process operation classification is the same as their maintenance period classification.
14.6 Employees, who are currently employed under a year round wage rate, will be on a year round wage rate in this agreement at their current clasification.
