HEARING December 3, 2021
-2-
DECISION
[1] The Employer and the Union agreed to participate in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The majority of the grievances dealt with
in this process are normally settled. However, if where a mediated agreement is
not attainable and the grievance remains unresolved, the Memorandum of
Agreement provides that the GSB Arbitrator shall issue a decision. The decision
issued by the Arbitrator shall be applicable only to the case heard and shall not
be used as a precedent for future cases and is not appealable. Any decision
rendered must be issued within two weeks of the date of the hearing.
[2] On December 3, 2021 the parties participated in the expedited Mediation-
Arbitration process in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement found in
Appendix 2 to the collective agreement. The grievance that is the subject of this
decision was one of the grievances that the parties agreed to deal with.
[3] The Grievor in this case has raised a scheduling issue. At the mediation the
Employer offered to pay to the grievor 18.75 hours minus statutory deductions. I
am of the view that this offer is fair and reasonable. The Employer is directed to
pay to the grievor 18.75 hours at the appropriate rate of pay minus statutory
deductions.
[4] The grievance are therefore hereby terminated.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 6th day of December 2021.
