[1] This award concerns a number of grievances filed in relation to a one-time adjustment to seniority
of part-time and casual employees within the bargaining unit represented by the Union, which
was carried out in January, 2017, pursuant to the Memorandum of Settlement dated December
16, 2016, and the Agreed-to Items dated December 16, 2016, referenced therein which settled
the terms of a renewal collective agreement between the Parties (the “One-Time Adjustment”).
[2] Having heard the submissions of the Parties, I find as follows.
[3] The One-Time Adjustment was intended to apply only to the calculation of seniority hours for
part-time and casual employees pursuant to Article 10.02 of the Collective Agreement between
the Parties. Pursuant to Article 10.02(a), seniority is distinct from service. The One Time
Adjustment was not intended to and did not apply to the calculation of service hours for part-
time and casual employees within the bargaining unit.
[4] This Award resolves all outstanding issues in relation to the Grievances.
