Job Challenge Procedure. The Challenge Procedure is comprised of two distinct streams, one for employees who volunteered for skill broadening and another for those who did not. Job Challenge Process: 1. The Union shall commence this dispute resolution process by filing a Job Challenge with the relevant contact supervisor. The parties shall meet within seven (7) days to attempt to resolve the matter. Failing a resolution of the matter within fourteen (14) days of filing the grievance, the matter will be referred to the next meeting of the Joint Classification Committee (JCC) in the former Nuclear bargaining unit, or the Implementation Committee (IC) in the former Non-Nuclear bargaining unit. Failing resolution at that meeting, the matter shall be referred to expedited arbitration using a mutually agreed upon expert in job evaluation to act as Arbitrator. 2. The JCC, or IC shall sit monthly or as otherwise agreed to by the parties and consist of three (3) union and three (3) employer representatives. It shall have the power to resolve any dispute concerning the placement of a job on a particular Band by unanimous agreement. If the JCC, or IC cannot reach agreement the matter may be submitted to the expedited resolution process. 3. The Arbitrator’s jurisdiction in these matters is limited to a determination of the correct placement of a job on a particular Band. The Arbitrator cannot alter the rates of the Bands. 4. Briefs shall be prepared by each party for each claim including a statement of facts, brief argument and the relevant provisions of the Collective Agreement. The briefs shall be provided to the Arbitrator at least 7 days prior to any hearing date. The Arbitrator will advise which matters will require witnesses for credibility issues. The parties will also exchange these briefs. 5. The fees of the Arbitrator and costs associated with these hearings shall be shared equally by the parties. 6. Retroactivity will be restricted to 12 months prior to the filing date of the challenge.
