Wage Protection Wage protection will apply to regular employees hired prior to April 1, 2004, who have a pay rate greater than the Step 4 rate in Appendix A (Wage Grid), unless the employee successfully posts into a lower classification. Wage protection will apply to casual employees hired prior to April 1, 2004, who are paid at Step 4 of the classification in which the casual employee is working [see Appendix A (Wage Grid)]. Effective April 1, 2013, an employee with wage protection will receive 50% of all general wage increases until the new wage rate for their classification meets or exceeds their existing wage rate. Such increases shall be recognized as incumbent specific. Wage protection applies to: additional straight-time hours worked by a regular full-time and regular part-time employee as per Clause 14.2(e) (Hours of Work) in their classification; overtime hours in the employee's classification; statutory holidays/annual vacation pay/sick leave; and assignment of regular hours as per Clause 24.1(c) (Job Postings) in the employee's classification. Wage protection rates do not apply to: additional straight-time hours worked by a regular full-time and regular part-time employee as per Clause 14.2(e) (Hours of Work) in a classification other than the employee's own. In such circumstances, they will be paid at Step 4 of the classification in which the employee is working. An employee will lose their wage protection (status) rates: if they post to a different classification prior to April 1, 2013; when they are demoted by the Employer as a result of disciplinary action; when regular employees achieve a casual position except where it is a temporary assignment directed by the Employer; when they bump under layoff provisions into a different job family or into a different grid level.
