WAGE POLICIES Clause Samples
The Wage Policies clause establishes the rules and standards governing employee compensation within an organization. It typically outlines how wages are determined, the frequency of payment, and any applicable adjustments such as overtime, bonuses, or raises. For example, it may specify that employees are paid biweekly and detail the process for annual salary reviews. The core function of this clause is to ensure transparency and consistency in pay practices, thereby reducing misunderstandings and disputes related to employee compensation.
WAGE POLICIES. 7.01 Individual base rates and hourly rates in effect on the effective date of this Agreement shall remain in effect during the life of this Agreement except that a change in any rate may be made by mutual agreement. Job descriptions will be accessible to the affected employees and the Union time study. Copies of pending and future job evaluations will be shared with the Union. Upon request all information will be copied or duplicated and furnished to the Union with the understanding that information not pertinent to the evaluation will not be included in the copy. Information furnished will not be disclosed to any party not directly concerned with the evaluation in question or the administration of the Union. The Company will provide a list of jobs and rates separately on an annual basis, with extra copies to be posted in the plant.
7.02 Incentive standards shall be established or revised in accordance with the time study practices of the Company which will provide for the accurate measurement of the physical effort required to perform operations. New or revised standards, posted on the shop floor, shall be accompanied with job procedures. The job procedures shall include elements to be completed, the order of those elements, materials and tools. When a standard is revised because one or more elements have changed, an explanation shall be posted with the aforementioned job procedures.

It is recognized there may be temporary periods of time when incentive standards may not conform to the foregoing due to minor changes in work content which may increase or decrease the incentive standard in effect. In such instances, the Company shall have the right to either cancel or apply such standards and if an increase in effort is required, the Company shall modify the estimated standard and back pay accordingly.

7.02 Incentive standards shall be established or revised in accordance with the time study practices of the Company which will provide for the accurate measurement of the physical effort required to perform operations. In the revision of an incentive standard, only the elements affected by a change in method, equipment, products, tools, materials, design, or other production conditions shall be revised. Measured Daywork Standards for all other operations and jobs will be established in accordance with this paragraph to set expected production targets and work content expected for the various hourly-rated production and non-production jobs within the plant. Measured Daywork Standards differ from Incentive Standards in that they are not used to establish employees' earnings and are, therefore, not subject to any guaranteed elements and can be changed as necessary to meet changing needs. The overall intent is that eight (8) hours work is expected of each employee for eight (8) hours pay. Estimated Incentive Standards: Estimated incentive standards may be established and used for certain periods of time to provide incentive standard coverage on various operations until incentive standards are made effective. The life of an estimated standard is sixty (60) days, and can only be extended by mutual agreement. When establishing an estimated incentive standard, a procedure covering the operation must be drafted before time studies are taken. Estimated standards differ from permanent standards in that the elemental values are not guaranteed, and when replaced by a permanent standard, the values of the permanent standard can be established without any reference to the elemental values of the estimated standard. All data for estimated standards is to be available to the Union upon request. Grievances on estimated standards can be negotiated up to and including the third step level. If no agreement is reached at third step between the Company and the Union, the estimated standard shall be automatically cancelled. All meetings requested by the Union or the Company on procedures, explanations or protests shall be paid for at the customary hourly rate or base rate and average unit hour on the same basis as is now in effect on permanent standards. Any increase negotiated on estimated standards shall be retroactive to the date of posting. Estimated standards in effect in the various departments will be rev...
