Temporary Employees 3.3.1 A temporary employee is an employee who is hired for short-term work assignment which is not ongoing (i.e. normally 12 months or less and not extending beyond 24 months). The employee's benefits and working conditions are as per Article 34 (Temporary Employees).
Part-Time and Temporary Employees 18.1. A part-time employee is one who is hired to work regularly twenty-four (24) hours per week or less. Except as expressly provided in the circumstances described in Article 18 (3) hereunder, a temporary employee is one employed for a special project or a specified time, in either case not to exceed three (3) months, except by mutual agreement in writing, or in the case of students, the academic vacation period. The Employer shall notify the employee and the CAW of the nature and anticipated duration of all temporary employment. 18.2. Neither part-time nor temporary employees shall be employed where such employment would eliminate or displace a regular or full-time employee. The Company will continue its practice of only hiring part-time or temporary employees when it deems it impractical to hire a full-time employee. 18.3. Notwithstanding Article 18.1 above, temporary employees may be employed to replace regular employees who are absent due to illness, injury, maternity or other leave of absence to a maximum of twelve (12) months. The period of employment of the temporary employee will cease when the regular employee on leave returns to work or when the regular employee on leave informs the Company and the CAW in writing that he/she will not be returning to work. In any event, temporary employees hired pursuant to this Article 18 (3) shall not be employed for more than twelve (12) months except by mutual agreement in writing. 18.4. A part-time employee shall be paid on an hourly basis equivalent to the weekly minimum salary provided for the employee's classification and experience. 18.5. A part-time employee shall advance on the schedule of minimum salaries and shall receive all benefits that depend on length of service according to the length of his/her employment with the Employer, according to actual hours worked based on a 1,600 hour year. 18.6. Temporary employees shall be paid an hourly rate consistent with the minimum weekly salary provided for their classification and experience. 18.7. Part-time and temporary employees shall be covered by all provisions of this Agreement, except as provided otherwise. 18.8. In the event of a part-time or temporary employee becoming a full-time employee, he/she shall be credited with the length of his/her employment with the Employer, according to actual hours worked, based on a 1,600 hour year.
