DECISION
The evidence was adduced by means of an agreed
Statement of Facts.
The grievor Emile Messier is employed as a Regional
Inspector of Weighers and Checkers by the Ministry of
Transportation in its Northern Region. The grievor works out
of the regional head office in North Bay.
The parties counsel agree~ that a draft position
specification and class allocation for the Regional Officer
of Weighing Operations generally described the grievor's
duties accurately. A copy of the position specification and
allocation is attached to this decision as Appendix "A".
The grievor's position is currently classified as
Inspector Weighmen and Checkers 2. The class standard for
the Inspector Weighmen and Checkers Class Series is attached
to the decision as Appendix "B".
The Union's counsel agreed that the class standard
for Inspector of Weighmen and Checkers is the only
appropriate class available wi thin the present bargaining
unit classification system.
The Board finds that the class standard for
Inspector of Weighmen and Checkers does not adequately cover
the duties and responsibilities included in the grievor's
position as set out in the draft position specification.
Therefore the Board orders that as in decision of the
Divisional Court in OPSEU(8.erry} and the Crown in Right of
Ontario (1986) 15 L.A.C. 151 the employer be directed to
.

create a class standard that will conform to the grievor's
job s I responsibilities and duties.
We further direct that the class standard shall be
created by the Ministry and be ready for approval by the
Civil Service Conunission within 120 days of the issuance of
this decision.
Due to the grievor's participation in a review
process of his classification1 the new and appropriate
classification will be effective retroactively from JanÙary
11 1989.
Any compensation arising from this grievance as a
result of negotiations between the parties will be similarily
retroactive to January 11 1989 with interest determined at
the rate of 10% per annum.
The Grievance Settlement Board will remain seized
with this matter in the event that there is any difficulty
with respect to the implementation of the decision; however I
this panel of the Grievance Settlement Board will not remain
seized of the matter.
DATED at Toronto1 this day of November, 1990.
