New Hire Orientation The Union’s Business Representative or designee shall be given the opportunity to make a membership presentation at the employer’s regularly scheduled new employee orientation sessions.
General Overview 2.1.1 If DTI requires maintenance for its local service customers, DTI will initiate a request for repair (sometimes referred to as a "trouble report") by calling GTE's Customer Care Repair Center. During this call, GTE service representatives will verify that the end-user is DTI customer and will then obtain the necessary information from DTI to process the trouble report. While DTI representatives are still on the line, GTE personnel will perform an initial analysis of the problem and remote line testing for resale services. If engineered services are involved, the call will be made to the GTE SSCC for handling. If no engineering is required and the line testing reveals that the trouble can be repaired remotely, GTE personnel will correct the problem and close the trouble report while DTI representatives are still on the line. If on-line resolution is not possible, GTE personnel will provide DTI representatives a commitment time for repair, and the GTE personnel then will enter the trouble ticket into the GTE service dispatch queue. DTI's repair service commitment times will be within the same intervals as GTE provides to its own end users. Maintenance and repair of GTE facilities is the responsibility of GTE and will be performed at no incremental charge to DTI. If, as a result of DTI-initiated trouble report, trouble is found to be the responsibility of DTI (e.g., non-network cause) GTE will charge DTI for trouble isolation. DTI will have the ability to report trouble for its end users to appropriate trouble reporting centers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. DTI will be assigned a customer contact center when initial service agreements are made.
Orientation The Employer shall provide planned and paid Orientation Programs of such content and duration as it deems appropriate taking into consideration the needs of the Employer and the Nurses involved. Such Nurses will not be considered part of core staffing during their Orientation Program nor will they be provided with primary assignments.
OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS 19.1 Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking of this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you do not pay us an amount when it is due and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date. 19.2 If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the sections of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect. 19.3 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement to another organisation including within our group of companies. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may end our Agreement by closing your Profile by contacting us via the details set out in section 10.4. 19.4 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this Agreement to another person if we expressly agree to this in writing. We may not be able to agree to this as doing so may likely put us in breach of our legal and regulatory obligations (including our obligations to comply with anti-money laundering laws). 19.5 Other people that may have rights under this contract. This Agreement is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in sections 13 (Compensation you may owe us). 19.6 The meaning of certain words and phrases not defined elsewhere:
