Job Classification Full-Time and Part-Time
(a) When a new classification (which is covered by the terms of this Collective Agreement) is established by the Hospital, the Hospital shall determine the rate of pay for such new classification and notify the Local Union of the same within seven (7) days. If the local challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavor to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the Board of Arbitration (or Arbitrator as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classification.
(b) When the Hospital makes a substantial change during the term of this agreement in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union, to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay.
(c) If the matter is not resolved following the meeting with the Union the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classifications.
(d) The parties further agree that any change mutually agreed to or awarded as a result of arbitration shall be retroactive only to the date that the Union raised the issue with the Hospital.

Basic hourly rates of pay for such new job classifications shall be negotiated with the Union.

New Job Classifications When a new classification (which is covered by the terms of this collective agreement) is established by the Hospital, the Hospital shall determine the rate of pay for such new classification and notify the local Union of the same. If the local Union challenges the rate, it shall have the right to request a meeting with the Hospital to endeavour to negotiate a mutually satisfactory rate. Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate. Any change mutually agreed to resulting from such meeting shall be retroactive to the date that notice of the new rate was given by the Hospital. If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting.

When the Hospital makes a substantial change in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union if requested to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay. If the matter is not resolved following the meeting with the Union, the matter may be referred to arbitration as provided in the agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the arbitrator (or board of arbitration as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classifications.

The parties further agree that the above process as provided herein shall constitute the process for Pay Equity Maintenance as required by the Pay Equity Act.
New Classification Should a new position or new classification be created within the Bargaining Unit during the term of this Agreement, the Employer and the Union will decide the rate of pay. Nothing herein prevents the Employer from filling such positions and having Nurses working in such positions during such negotiations. The salary when determined will be retroactive to the date on which the successful candidate commenced work in that classification.
Tax Classification The Series shall elect to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3 with effect for each taxable period of its existence. The Series and each Member shall file all tax returns and shall otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment. No election will be filed with the Internal Revenue Service (or the tax authorities of any State) to have the Series taxable other than as an association taxable as a corporation for income tax purposes.
EMPLOYEE CLASSIFICATIONS Section 1. Definition and Use
New Classifications If a new classification is created within the bargaining unit, the Employer agrees to meet with the Union and negotiate a rate of pay for this new classification. If the parties cannot reach agreement, at the request of either party, the matter shall be submitted to the arbitration procedure in Article 26 of this Agreement.
WAGES AND CLASSIFICATIONS 42.01 The classification and wages for persons covered by the Collective Agreement shall, during the term of the Agreement, be as set out in Schedule "D" attached hereto.
42.02 Where a Child and Youth Worker II or III, who has a minimum of three (3) years continuous service in his/her current position wishes, for the purposes of career development and experience to apply for a Child and Youth Worker position which is classified one level lower, s/he may apply to the Chief Human Resources Officer to have this position considered as a secondment for a maximum of one (1) year through which s/he will retain his/her current salary.
(a) If a new job is established by the Employer, the Joint Job Evaluation Committee will evaluate the job. In circumstances where it is impossible for either party to convene the Joint Job Evaluation Committee, or a rating cannot be agreed upon prior to the posting of a newly created job, the Employer will set the initial wage rate. It is agreed that the newly created job will be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee no later than three (3) months after the date that the new job is posted, unless otherwise agreed. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the start date(s) of the employee(s) in the new position. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply. At the request of either party, all newly created jobs shall be re-reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee within twelve (12) months of the start date of the new job. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the start of the new job. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply.
(b) Where the duties and responsibilities of an employee’s job are changed by the Employer in a substantive manner, so that a job is no longer properly classified and the rate should be changed, either the employee or the Employer may request that the job be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee. Any such request must be made within six (6) months of the changes to the duties and responsibilities being made by the Employer. The job will be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee no later than three (3) months after the request. It is understood that the cumulative effect of small changes may result in change “in a substantive manner”. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the date that the request was made which resulted in a re- classification. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay under a changed job as referred to above, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply with the appropriate changes. No job will be reviewed under section (b) more than once every twelve
