Permit Employees. 6.01 When the Employer requests a union worker and no union worker can be supplied, then the Employer may hire a permit worker. Any permit employees may not exceed five hundred (500) working hours. The Employer agrees to pay to the Union a Work Permit Fee in the amount of 3.7% of their rate plus vacation pay until the permit period of five hundred (500) working hours is completed. The Work Permit Fee are payable to the Union by the 15th of the month following the work month. 6.02 After the permit employee has completed a permit period of five hundred (500) hours, it is understood that the employee will be a full member of the Union and continue working. The Employer must notify the Union of the employee’s classification and the hourly rate of pay. This employee will not be classified any lower than a First-year apprentice. This in no way limits the Employer’s right to promote a permit employee beyond the next highest paid apprenticeship rate, or to the journeyman’s rate. 6.03 At no time shall the number of permit employees exceed fifty (65%) of the total work force.
