DeCISIon
ThIS gnevance was placed before me by the partIes In accordance wIth the
medIatIOn/arbItratIOn procedure contemplated under ArtIcle 22 16 of the collectIve agreement.
As the partIes were unable to reach a settlement, they asked me to rule on the matter and
specIfically requested that, In the Interests of an expedItIOus resolutIOn, I Issue a decIsIOn wIthout
reasons I note as well that, In accordance wIth ArtIcle 22 16 7 of the collectIve agreement,
beyond determInIng the gnevance before me, thIS decIsIOn shall have no precedentlal value
unless the partIes agree otherwIse
The gnevors In thIS group gnevance are seekIng adjustments to theIr contInuous servIce
dates ("CSD") EssentIally they claim that upon converSIOn to classIfied employment all hours
worked as an unclassIfied employee and, In partIcular hours worked In weeks where the total
number of hours worked amounted to less than a "full-tIme weeks" should be consIdered for the
purposes of determInIng CSD In other words, they seek to have theIr hours worked treated In
much the same fashIOn as hours worked by regular part-tIme classIfied employees are treated for
purposes of establIshIng a CSD
(The partIes advIsed me that where less than full-tIme weeks are worked In conjUnctIOn
wIth a compressed full-tIme workweek, the hours worked In those weeks are credIted for the
purposes of establIshIng a CSD That IS not an Issue here However the current gnevance goes
further and seeks credIt for all hours worked In all less than full-tIme weeks)
HavIng consIdered the submIssIOns of the partIes and the specIfic dIstInctIOns IdentIfied
In ArtIcle 18 of the collectIve agreement regardIng the treatment of unclassIfied and classIfied
servIce for the purposes of determInIng semonty I am satIsfied that thIS gnevance IS wIthout
ment and It IS therefore hereby dIsmIssed.
