Common use of Long Term Temporary Employees Clause in Contracts

Long Term Temporary Employees. Temporary employees hired for a pre-determined duration of at least 13 weeks or who work 29 straight time hours or more per week for 13 consecutive weeks will: a. Subject to any restrictions contained in various benefit plans, the Collective Agreement or legislation, enjoy the benefit plans related to this Collective Agreement, prorated for time worked; b. Not have to re-qualify for supplementary health benefits if they are re-engaged within a thirteen (13) week period following their previous engagement, subject to the provisions of the plan. c. The payment of Short Term Disability is based on continuous service. However, STD benefits shall not have the effect of extending the temporary employment beyond its scheduled termination date. All Long-Term Temporary employees will receive an amount in lieu of pension equivalent to the Corporation’s current service cost contributions to the pension plan. Should the employee meet the Corporation’s pension plan eligibility criteria and opt to join the plan, any compensation paid in lieu of pension shall cease upon the employee enrolling in the Corporation’s pension plan. Temporary employees who work 29 straight time hours or more per week for 13 consecutive weeks will: a. Subject to any restrictions contained in various benefit plans, the Collective Agreement or legislation, enjoy the benefit plans related to this Collective Agreement. Benefits will commence no later than 4 weeks following the qualification period and will continue as long as the employee works 58 straight time hours in each bi-weekly pay period. Employees will be notified in writing when benefits will commence. Salary-based benefits will be based on a fixed amount; b. The criteria of working fifty-eight (58) straight time hours in each bi-weekly pay period will determine the eligibility for benefits in the following pay period provided that time cards are submitted on time. In the event that time cards are submitted late resulting in loss of benefits eligibility in the following pay period, benefits eligibility will be reinstated provided that the time cards are submitted no later than the next 2 pay periods. The appropriate pay revisions would be applied. c. Not have to re-qualify for the benefits plans if they are re- engaged in a CMG position within a thirteen (13) week period following their previous engagement, subject to the provisions of the plan. For clarity, any CMG employee with benefits will not need to re-qualify if they are engaged within the following thirteen (13) weeks provided they work a minimum of fifty- eight (58) straight time hours within a bi-weekly pay period upon their return. Benefits will continue thereafter for each bi- weekly pay period in which they have worked a minimum of 58 straight time hours. Paid and unpaid authorized absences and statutory holidays will be included in the hours required for qualification and maintaining benefits; d. Since these employees will be deemed to have continuous service of 13 weeks for benefits purposes, the STD entitlement is 10 days at 100% and 75 day at 66 2/3% at the salary of the last position occupied by the employee before proceeding on sick leave during the period they had been assigned to work. e. Employees who do not qualify for benefits will receive an amount equal to twelve-and-a-half percent (12.5%) of their salary as per article 27.5.
