A. Kirkwood, Vice-Chairperson B. Shipman, Union Member F. Reeve, Employer Member Appearances for the Grievor: R.Ro8S Wells Appearances for the Employer: J. Crowther Hearing Dates: November 131 1990 . , Page 2 . t " DECISION The evidence was adduced by means of an agreed Statement of Facts. The grievor Emile Messier is employed as a Regional Inspector of Weighers and Checkers by the Ministry of Transportation in its Northern Region. The grievor works out of the regional head office in North Bay. The parties counsel agree~ that a draft position specification and class allocation for the Regional Officer of Weighing Operations generally described the grievor's duties accurately. A copy of the position specification and allocation is attached to this decision as Appendix "A". The grievor's position is currently classified as Inspector Weighmen and Checkers 2. The class standard for the Inspector Weighmen and Checkers Class Series is attached to the decision as Appendix "B". The Union's counsel agreed that the class standard for Inspector of Weighmen and Checkers is the only appropriate class available wi thin the present bargaining unit classification system. The Board finds that the class standard for Inspector of Weighmen and Checkers does not adequately cover the duties and responsibilities included in the grievor's position as set out in the draft position specification. Therefore the Board orders that as in decision of the Divisional Court in OPSEU(8.erry} and the Crown in Right of Ontario (1986) 15 L.A.C. 151 the employer be directed to . . Page 3 " t , create a class standard that will conform to the grievor's job s I responsibilities and duties. We further direct that the class standard shall be created by the Ministry and be ready for approval by the Civil Service Conunission within 120 days of the issuance of this decision. Due to the grievor's participation in a review process of his classification1 the new and appropriate classification will be effective retroactively from JanÙary 11 1989. Any compensation arising from this grievance as a result of negotiations between the parties will be similarily retroactive to January 11 1989 with interest determined at the rate of 10% per annum. The Grievance Settlement Board will remain seized with this matter in the event that there is any difficulty with respect to the implementation of the decision; however I this panel of the Grievance Settlement Board will not remain seized of the matter.
