A hearing by conference call was held on November 6, 2003
AWARD
This matter was originally scheduled for an in-person hearing on November 6,
2003, but the parties agreed that we should proceed by way of conference call
instead.
During that conference call, the parties agreed to deal with the issues in the
following manner, which I record for clarity:
1. The union will withdraw the outstanding grievance dated July 18,
2002 relating to Ms. Yep-Lam's classification, subject to the
understandings which follow.
2. Further to the College's intention to amend Ms. Yep-Lam's
Position Description Form (PDF), expressed in its letter to the union
of October 20, 2003, the College will provide to Ms. Yep-Lam and
the union a new PDF. The College indicated that this would be
done by November 21, 2003. Ms. Yep-Lam and the union will
review the new PDF and determine their position with respect to it
and the level of classification assigned to it. It is understood that
they may file a new classification grievance, if so advised.
3. If a new grievance is filed in respect of Ms. Pollington's
classification, the parties are agreed that for the purposes of Article
18.4.1.1 of the collective agreement and any claim for retroactive
pay, the date of presentation of the written grievance will be
deemed to be July 18, 2002, rather than the date on any new
grievance submitted.
4. I am to remain seized to deal with any problem implementing the
above, which the parties are unable to resolve themselves, and to
deal with any new grievance filed in this matter or in the
classification grievance of Pat Pollington.
Dated at Toronto this 20th day of November, 2003.
