Decision
[1]The Employer and the Union at the Central East Correctional Centre agreed to participate
in the Expedited Mediation-Arbitration process in accordance with the negotiated
Protocol. Most of the grievances were settled through that process. However, a few
remained unresolved and therefore require a decision from this Board. The Protocol
provides that decisions will be issued within a relatively short period of time after the
actual mediation sessions and will be without reasons. Further, the decision is to be
without prejudice and precedent.
[2]A number of grievances were filed regarding an Employer requirement for medical
certificates for absences that took place over the course of a few days in August of 2009.
[3]Generally speaking, the grievors fall into two groups. The first group did not bring in a
note as directed and were not paid their sick leave. For those employees the Employer is
ordered to pay an amount equal to the sick leave pay to which they had been entitled.
[4]The second group provided a medical note but in doing so incurred various expenses.
The Employer is to pay each of those employees who had provided a note prior to
October 21, 2009, a net amount of one hundred and twenty five ($125.).
[5]I remain seized.
