WAGE RATE CONDITIONS. (a) The wage rates outlined in the attached appendix are minimum wage rates and they do not prevent the Employer from paying a higher wage rate. (b) The Employer is not entitled to pay wage rates lower than those contained in the appendix, except as specifically provided for in clauses 8.01 and 7. (c) In cases where the Employer has granted an employee a rate higher than that provided in the Agreement, the premium cannot be withdrawn unless it was granted on a conditional basis and the condition has been exhausted or withdrawn. Otherwise, such a premium can only be withdrawn at the time when the wage rates are being negotiated. (d) All wage increases shall apply to all employees unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. (e) No entry level, intermediate or full wage rate paid under this collective agreement shall be less than the minimum wage rate paid in British Columbia. The parties agree that the minimum wage rate in effect as of August 2002 is $8.00 per hour.
