Non-Credit Courses In all cases, no tuition remission shall be made for courses not carrying academic credit, with the exception of nursery school. Individuals may take noncredit courses for one- half of the normal course fee, but no person will be allowed to take two or more such courses simultaneously at this rate. Registration will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis with no more than twenty percent of the total available places being held for this purpose. A course not being closed on the first day of class may have additional individuals admitted at one-half of the normal course fee.
Employer Commitments It is agreed that the institution will make every reasonable attempt to minimize the impact of funding shortfalls and reductions on the work force. It is incumbent upon institutions to communicate effectively with their employees and the unions representing those employees as soon as the impact of any funding reduction or shortfall or profile change has been assessed. If a work force reduction is necessary, the Joint Labour Management Committee will canvas employees in a targeted area or other areas over a fourteen (14) day period, or such longer time as the Joint Labour Management Committee agrees, to find volunteer solutions that provide as many viable options as possible and minimize potential layoffs. Subject to any agreement that the Joint Labour Management Committee may make to extend the period of a canvass, such canvasses shall take place either: • prior to the issuance of lay-off notice to employees under the local agreement, or • by no later than fourteen (14) calendar days following the annual deadline for notice of non-renewal or layoff where a local provision provides for such a deadline, whichever date is later. The union shall be provided with a copy of each final plan for employee labour adjustment.
Service Credit Time spent on authorized leaves of absence without pay will count towards seniority, including service credit for annual step increases, layoff purposes, and for computing the amount of vacation leave, provided the employee is properly returned to service and is not serving a probationary period. Employees that do not return to service from a personal leave of absence shall not receive service credit for the time spent on such leave.
Credit The Credit awarded in section 2 of this Agreement will be allocated to Taxpayer by taxable year as set forth in Exhibit A, provided that Taxpayer achieves the Milestones associated with the applicable taxable year, which includes all investments agreed to in the prior years, as set forth in Exhibit A. Taxpayer acknowledges and agrees that, an allocated portion of the Credit is earned by Taxpayer in the taxable year when the Milestones associated with that allocated portion of the Credit are achieved and to avoid recapture, Taxpayer must maintain such Milestones for three (3) subsequent taxable years. All required Milestones identified on a taxable year basis in Exhibit A, must be met in order to earn the allocated portion of the Credit. In the event Taxpayer satisfies the taxable year Milestones in an earlier taxable year than described in Exhibit A (no earlier than taxable year 2017), upon written approval from GO-Biz, Taxpayer may claim the allocated portion of the Credit in the 0000 X Xxxxxx, 00xx XXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX 00000 earlier taxable year when the Milestones are achieved. If Taxpayer satisfied certain taxable year Milestones in an earlier taxable year than described in Exhibit A (no earlier than taxable year 2017), and received written approval from GO-Biz to claim the Credit in the earlier taxable year, then Taxpayer need only maintain such Milestone for three (3) subsequent taxable years to avoid recapture as further described in Section 10. In the event that Taxpayer fails to satisfy each Milestone identified in Exhibit A in the taxable year associated with those Milestones including all Investments agreed to in the prior years, no portion of the Credit will be considered earned in that taxable year, but GO-Biz will not unreasonably deny the Credit to Taxpayer for immaterial variances from the Milestones. In determining whether Taxpayer satisfies each Investment Milestone, Taxpayer may include the aggregate amount of Investment made in prior taxable years (beginning with taxable year 2017) that was in excess of the cumulative Investment Milestones for such taxable years. Any allocated portion of the Credit associated with a specific taxable year in Exhibit A, which is not earned in that year due to failure to achieve the Milestones associated with that taxable year will be earned in the taxable year in which the Milestones are met, but in no event later than the last taxable year identified in Exhibit A.
College Credit Plus A. The opportunity to teach any course offered by the district through College Credit Plus (CCP) shall be offered to all members of the bargaining unit who are qualified to teach the course.
Sick Leave Credit All employees shall be able to draw on a block of four point five (4.5) days' sick leave when they commence employment. If all or part of this block of sick leave is used it will be paid back as sick leave is accumulated. If an employee ceases employment and has a negative balance in sick leave credit, this amount will be deducted from his/her final paycheque.
Military Service Credit Permanent HMC employees who are veterans or their unmarried widows/widowers shall have added to their unbroken service the veteran’s active military service to a maximum of five (5) years in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
