Training and Instruction. Where legislation, the Company’s operations, or this Agreement requires certificates or skills be held by one or any number of the workforce, subject to the process described below, training will be offered to the employees within the bargaining unit, first to full- time employees regularly assigned to the affected shifts in order of seniority, and where required, next to part-time employees regularly assigned to the affected shifts in order of seniority. The Company will bear the cost of the training. Once the Company has offered the training in order of seniority and no employees have elected the training, the Company will assign the training in reverse order of seniority or as required by the Company based on operational imperatives. When specific training is offered to employees at the Toronto terminal, the Company will provide at least two (2) preferably three (3) or more training sessions at different times with at least one (1) month’s advance notice. Employees will be required to choose which session they will attend within ten (10) days of the session times being posted. Should an employee fail to make an election, the Company shall assign the employee to a session. When training is scheduled for terminals outside of Toronto the Company shall give at least one (1) month’s notice of the training session and, should the training be required in the peak vacation period (July and August), the Company will not schedule training on the weekends. Employees will be paid for the hours spent training at straight time or, where applicable, overtime rates. Call in pay will not apply. When an employee makes a selection or is assigned to a training session, attendance is mandatory. Failure to attend, without an explanation satisfactory to the Company, will result in discipline and subject the employee to mandatory training at the Company’s discretion without pay.
