On-the-Job Training. (10-16-07) (Rev. 4-21-15) Z-10
On-the-Job Training.
(i) When, in the Employer’s opinion, operational requirements both warrant and permit and when it is practical from a financial perspective to do so, the Employer shall endeavour to provide on-the-job training to employees within their own functional work units during normal working hours. The purpose of this training shall be primarily to maximize flexibility when assigning day-to-day work within that work unit and/or department and/or section and, secondly, to provide enhanced opportunity for employees to advance within their own departments as permanent vacancies occur therein.
(ii) Additional Employer considerations when selecting employees for training under this article shall be as follows in rank order:
(a) The present and future operating needs and efficiency of the department and/or work unit and/or section involved;
(b) The relationship between an eligible employee’s current work and the training to be offered;
(c) The capabilities and past performance of the employees considered for training; and,
(d) Seniority.
(iii) Training of a more general nature or of interest to a number of employees in a given work unit, department or section may also be offered by the Employer under this article. Such training shall always meet the basic criteria set out in the first sentence of subsection (i), with employees being selected for such training on the basis of subsection (ii).
(iv) Training under this article shall in no event take place between departments and shall not be provided solely to enable employees to obtain the qualifications or experience required in order to qualify for higher paid positions. For purposes of this article, “functional work units” shall be defined as smaller work units within a given department, which for purposes of training, are considered distinct for functional or operational reasons by the Employer.
On-the-Job Training. The Employer shall inaugurate and maintain a system of "on-the-job" training so that every employee shall have the opportunity to receive training and qualify for promotion or transfer in the event of a vacancy arising. Accordingly, employees shall be allowed regular opportunities to learn the work of higher or equal positions during the regular working hours by arranging to change positions for temporary periods without affecting the salary or pay of the employees concerned. Such opportunities for training shall be allocated according to the seniority provisions of this Agreement. The training period shall be mutually agreed upon by the Employer and trainee.
On-the-Job Training. The local supervisor shall be responsible for providing job training to employees filling vacant or new positions.
On-the-Job Training. The Board will inaugurate and maintain a system of ‘on-the-job’ training, that includes job manuals for each job in the bargaining unit, so that every employee may have the opportunity of receiving training and qualifying for promotion in the event of a vacancy arising in the position next senior to their own.
On-the-Job Training. In order to provide on-the-job training, the Employer and the Union shall establish a Committee to develop a training program which shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

On-the-Job Training. In the event the Residence intends, through the introduction of technological changes and/or through expansion or renovation, to create new, or alter existing positions, or to fill vacancies requiring skills and/or qualifications that present employees may reasonably be able to acquire, the Residence agrees to meet with the Union for the purpose of giving them an opportunity to make representations with regard to planning ways and means to enable employees to qualify for such new and/or changed positions.
On-the-Job Training. (a) Upon the request of an employee, and subject to the approval of the Employer, an employee may be placed in another classification for the purpose of on-the-job training. Such request shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) The conditions of such on-the-job training, including remuneration, duration of training, and status of original position, shall be established by mutual agreement between the employee, in consultation with the Union, and the Employer.
