New Benchmarks. A benchmark classification system with an underlying point factor plan is utilized to classify jobs. The Employer is responsible for developing new benchmarks. When a new benchmark is developed, the Employer will evaluate the benchmark using the point factor plan, and will assign a pay grade. The Employer will provide new benchmarks to the Union for the purpose of reviewing the job evaluation points and pay grade. The Union has thirty (30) days to object to the job evaluation points and/or pay grade. In the case of objection, the parties will engage in discussions and attempt to resolve the matter. Where the Employer and Union can’t resolve the dispute over job evaluation points and/or pay grade, the matter may be referred to an arbitrator for expedited arbitration, in accordance with Article 31.04.
