DECISION
[1] In April of 2011, the parties signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the Med/Arb
process within this Ministry. In that agreement it was agreed that overtime grievances
would be dealt with on a regular basis at every institution. It was the stated
expectation that the parties would “move forward together in a timely manner to
resolve as many outstanding overtime grievances” as possible at each institution.
Monthly meetings were to be scheduled for this purpose. It was hoped that these
monthly overtime grievance sessions would resolve most grievances.
[2] It was also agreed in the Memorandum that Med-Arb sessions would be held to deal
exclusively with overtime grievances from time to time. The parties would meet to
attempt resolution of the outstanding grievances and the remaining disputes would be
put before this Board.
[3] In May of 2012, the first decision from this process was issued. As agreed by the
parties, that decision was without prejudice and without reasons. Since that time a
number of sessions have been held and various decisions rendered. The process has
not been altered and continues to serve the parties well.
[4] The grievances covered by this decision arose out of the Brantford Jail and are
associated with a pilot project regarding the E-Roster computer scheduling system.
[5] Both parties presented facts, supporting documents, and made submissions regarding
the various disputes. Attached as Appendix A is the list of grievances and the
disposition of this Board. Any monies that are owing to individual grievors as set out in
the attached appendix are to be paid at the appropriate overtime rate less statutory
deductions.

[6] I remain seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 3rd day of September, 2020.
