Decision
[1]Ms. Angie Sutherland, a correctional officer with the Ministry, grieved on October 7, 2008
that her continuous service date had been calculated incorrectly. The employer submitted
that it had reviewed all pertinent documents and the continuous service date was correct and
therefore there was no violation of the collective agreement.
[2]The parties referred this grievance to mediation/arbitration in accordance with Article 22.16
of the collective agreement. At the outset of the hearing the parties agreed that I had the
jurisdiction to deal with this matter. They asked that I issue a decision without precedent or
prejudice, and without written reasons in accord with the policy of the parties for expedited
hearings under Article 22.16.
[3]Having carefully considered the submissions of the parties, as well as the jurisprudence of
the Board, I hereby deny this grievance.

Dated at Toronto this 29 day of November 2010.
