Decision
1. The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated protocol. The majority of the
grievances are normally settled pursuant to that process. However, if a grievance
remains unresolved the protocol provides that an Arbitrator of the Board, based on
the evidence provided during the mediation session, will immediately decide the
grievance. The decision will be without reasons, without precedent and prejudice
and will be issued within fifteen working days of the mediation unless the parties
agree otherwise.
2. On November 4 and 5, 2019 the parties at the Toronto South Detention Centre
agreed to participate in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance
with the negotiated protocol.
3. This grievance relates to a seven day suspension imposed upon the Grievor for
arriving late and leaving early, while claiming full pay, on approximately 30
occasions.
4. Having considered the representations of the parties, I find the Employer had just
cause for discipline. Further, I would not disturb the length of the suspension.
5. Accordingly, the grievance is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 12th day of November 2019.
