Pilot Initiatives. The Parties agree that one or more individual employee pilot initiatives may be established during the life of this agreement to examine the feasibility of formal telework within BC Assessment. The results of these initiatives will be evaluated and discussed between the Parties and any general extension of this concept beyond the pilot initiatives will be by mutual agreement. In order to evaluate the success of this initiative and to assess the viability of telework, objective evaluation principles must be established. The following principles will be used and no single principle is seen as being paramount: Improve employee satisfaction and commitment Improve productivity and quality Improve customer service, whether the customer is internal or external to BC Assessment Reduce current operational costs. The Joint Telework Committee (JTC) will be established and will be responsible for overseeing the creation and evaluation of these pilot initiatives, subject to the following general guidelines: The JTC will consist of two Union representatives and two Employer representatives. The JTC will meet within 3 weeks of the signing of this agreement and thereafter as required with the objective of implementing the pilot initiatives as soon as possible. The JTC will agree upon the number, location and implementation of any individual telework arrangement to be conducted as part of this pilot review. The JTC will agree upon the term of each pilot initiative and any potential extensions of the term. Either Party may terminate a pilot initiative by giving 30 days‟ written notice. Before any pilot initiative is approved, the JTC will establish a method for evaluating the results based upon the foregoing evaluation principles. The JTC will meet by June 30, 2011 to review and evaluate the results of the pilot initiatives. It is understood that in a pilot initiative environment it may not be possible to demonstrate all of the evaluation principles and that these results are unchanged. The JTC will discuss whether sufficient success has been demonstrated by the pilots. For Employer – C. Fair For Union – X. XxXxxxx
