Decision
[1] Ms. Amy MacGregor, a correctional officer at Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, grieved
November 18, 2011, that the employer wrongly denied her a merit increase. The employer
submitted that it had not violated the collective agreement or the employer’s policy on merit
increases.
[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 provisions 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 find that there has been no violation of the collective agreement or the policy and
I hereby deny this grievance.
Dated at Toronto this 4th day of July 2012.
Deborah J.D. Leighton, Vice-Chair
