Common use of Insulator Clause in Contracts

Insulator. When the distance between the employee’s residence and the job site is 120 or more kilometres, the compensation specified in Article 23.09, Subsection 4), Paragraph a) is also payable for the day preceding the first day of work when the employee must travel and obtain room and board on the day before he reports to work. Such compensation is only payable once per job site and per employer. This paragraph also applies, however, when an employee is called back to work on the same job site following layoff, except in the case of compulsory annual vacations. As of April 26, 2015, in the heavy construction industry only, when the distance between an employee’s residence and the job site is more than 480 kilometres and the employee puts in a full week of work, he shall receive an additional payment of compensation for room and board per week. As of May 1, 2016, he shall be entitled also to an additional payment of compensation for room and board per week. This provision may not result in the payment of compensation for room and board more than seven (7) times within the same weekly period. This does not apply, however: • When other compensation for travelling expenses is applicable during the same week, except for the compensation stip- ulated for the day preceding the first day of work. • In the case of layoff or transfer to an- other job site.
