DECISION
The grievors, Mr. D. Auld and Mr. R. Solomon, are employed
in the position of Driver by the Ministry of Correctional
Services at the Burtch Correctional Centre in Brantford, Ontario.
The position description for their position is attached hereto as
Appendix A. The position is classified as Motor Vehicle Operator
1. The class standard for Motor Vehicle Operator 1 is attached
hereto as Appendix B. In grievances dated January 14, 1991 and
January 19, 1991, the grievors claim that their position is
improperly classified. The Union seeks an order directing that
the grievors be classified in the Correctional Officer 2
classification, or alternatively, a "Berry Order", an order
directing the Employer to develop an appropriate classification
for the position. The Correctional Officer 2 class standard is
attached hereto as Appendix C. The Union bases its position on
both a "standards" argument and a "usage" argument. It is the
submission of the Employer that the position of the grievors is
properly classified.
Mr. D. Auld gave evidence as a representative grievor. Mr.
Auld has been employed in his current position at Burtch
Correctional Centre for approximately 17 years. Burtch is a
mimimum security institution during the day but is considered to
be a medium security institution at night when it is locked. In
carrying'out his duties Mr. Auld wears the same uniform that
correctional officers wear. He is in possession of handcuffs
which he was provided with by the institution. Mr. Auld
testified that his position description is generally accurate,
however he stated that he spends between 40 to 60% of his 'time in
contact with inmates, rather than 80%, as his position
description indicates. As well, Mr. Auld took issue with 'the
description of his duties as "transport" of inmates in the
position description.
Mr. Auld testified that his practice and his understanding
of the Employer's expectations of him at the time of the-
grievance is that he was responsible for the care and custody of
inmates during transit. Inmates are transported on a daily basis
to attend medical appointments and carry out volunteer work in
the community.
According to the evidence of Mr. Auld, at the time of the
grievance, the process by which an inmate was taken to a medical
appointment was that a calendar was prepared which he was
responsible to check. A medical temporary absence permit was
prepared by'nursing staff. At the time of the grievance the
passes were pre-signed by a supervisor. Accordingly, as a
general rule, there was no pre-screening by a supervisor with
respect to the security risks associated with the leave'of a
particular inmate attending a medical appointment. Mr. Auld
called the unit for the inmate to come to the duty office where
the inmate signed the temporary absence pass and he witnessed it.
There is a box on the form to indicate whether the inmate is
escorted or unescorted. Mr. Auld testified that if the inmate is
taken out by him, without a correctional officer, as was normally
the case, he would indicate that the pass was escorted and would
enter his name in the space on the form for the name of the
escorting officer. Mr. Auld was shown a form dated subsequent to
the grievance on which the inmate's signature was witnessed by
him but his name was not entered as the escorting officer.
However, Mr. Auld's evidence about his general.practice at the
time of the grievance was not specifically challenged. Mr. Auld
testified that he waited for the appointment with the inmate and
would also attend with the inmate during his examination or
treatment by a health care provider, at the request of that
person.
Mr. Auld testified that if he did not know an inmate he
would check background information about the inmate in the duty
office. If he had concerns about a security risk associated with
taking the inmate out by himself Mr. Auld would raise the matter
with a supervisor who would decide whether a correctional officer
would also be required to accompany the driver and the inmate.
There would sometimes be direction initiated by a supervisor to
have a correctional officer attend on the trip. If Mr. Auld did
not consider that it was necessary for a correctional officer to
attend on a trip he would take the inmate himself. As previously
indicated, when taking the inmate himself Mr. Auld testified that
he understood that he had responsibility for the custody and
control of the inmate. Mr. Auld testified that it is his
· decision whether or not he will handcuff the inmate, but that it
is rare for him to do so. Mr. Auld testified that 90% of the
time he was alone with one or more inmates. The remaining 10% of
the time there was a correctional officer who was also present.
Mr. Auld stated that the functions that he performed in relation
to the inmate were no different than those performed by a
correctional officer. ~
Mr. Auld stated that he reported.to the duty office,
indicating how many inmates he was taking and their destination.
Mr. Auld testified that if he had a suspicion about the inmate he
would search him on the way back. If the inmate had been out of
his sight, the inmate would be searched. Mr. Auld does not cary
out full body searches, as correctional officers may be required
to do.
On a daily basis, between Monday and Friday, volunteer
inmates are escorted to their assignments in the community.
These are inmates who are considered by the institution to be a
low security risk and they have ongoing temporary absence
permits. In the morning, both Mr. Solomon and Mr. Auld observe
the inmates when they change from their prison clothing to their
street clothing to ensure, for example, that no money is being
taken out. They then take the inmates to the destination in the
community, drop them off, and return to pick them up at
approximately 3 o'clock. They observe the inmates changing again
4
when they return.
As well, as the position description indicates, Mr. Auld is
involved in duties such as picking up and delivering parcels and
supplies. Mr. Auld testified that about half his time is spent
in this kind of work. When there is a problem with the vehicle
it is reported to a mechanic on duty. The vehicles are cleaned
by inmates under Mr. Auld's supervision. There are instances
when Mr. Auld is involved in transferring inmates to other
institutions or to court. On those occasions a correctional
officer is present.
Mr. Auld testified that if an escape takes place during his
shift, he is involved with the search. This may take place once
a month or it may be a year between such events. He may be
accompanied by a correctional officer or he may be alone. Both
Mr. Auld and Mr. Solomon carry out a perimeter check of the
institution one or two times daily. This is carried out at
various times. Mr. Auld testified that it entails looking for
things such as cars making drop offs, and checking culverts to
see if something might be hidden. If something suspicious is
seen it is to be reported to the institution~ Mr. Auld testified
that he was instructed to carry out such checks when he had
inmates with him so that they would know that such checks were
carried out.
Mr. Auld testified that if the institution is short staffed
he has been asked to carry out picket duty, which involves
standing in a particular position when the inmates are going to
the dining room. This is something normally carried out by a
correctional officer. It is not an assignment given to Mr. Auld
on a frequent basis.
As the position specification indicates, Mr. Auld is paid
the custodial responsibility allowance provided for in Appendx 8
5
of the Collective .Agreement. Payment for the custodial ~
responsibility allowance is based on the following requirements:
(a) they are not professional staff such as teachers,
nurses, social workers or psychologists
(b) the positions to which the employees are assigned are
not covered by classes which already take into account
responsibility for the control of inmates or wards, such
as COrrectional Officers, Industrial Officers,
Supervisors of Juveniles, Observation and Detention Home
Workers, Recreation Officers (Correctional Services),
Trade Instructors and Provincial Bailiffs:
(c) (i) they are required, for the major portion of their
working time, to direct inmates or wards engaged
in beneficial labour;
or
(ii) as group leaders/lead hands, they are directly
responsible, for the major portion of their
working time, for operations involving the control
of a number of inmates or wards engaged in
beneficial labour;
and
(d) they are responsible for the custody of inmates ,Dr
wards in their charge and are required to report on
their conduct and lay charges where breaches of
institutional regulations occur
Mr. J. Butler,.Senior Assistant Superintendent at Burtch
Correctional Centre, is the supervisor of Mr. Auld and Mr.
Solomon. He has been in that position for two years. Mr. Butler
testified that inmates who are involved in outside work in the
community are released on unescorted temporary absence permits.
Inmates may also be released on unescorted temporary absence
permits to attend medical appointments. Mr. Butler testified'
that the policy of the institution is that if the inmate is
considered to be a security risk he will be released on an
6
escorted pass and a correctional officer will be assigned to
attend with the driver. Mr. Butler testified that whether or not
a correctional officer is accompanying him the responsibility of
Mr. Auld is to transport the inmate to his destination and return
the inmate. Mr. Butler testified that his expectations of the
grievors with respect to watching inmates change was that they
would ensure that the inmates were wearing the proper clothing
and that they changed into the proper clothing when they
returned.
Mr. Butler testified that when an appointment is made for
an inmate to attend a doctor's appointment, physiotherapy or
admission to a hospital there is to be a check of security by the
shift supervisor who determines whether or not a correctional
officer will be assigned to go out with an inmate. If there are
sufficient concerns about security the pass is designated an
escorted pass and a correctional officer is assigned along with
the driver. He stated that the drivers can make recommendations
with respect to this matter. Mr. Butler testified that when
inmates attend on unescorted passes they are deemed not to be a
security risk. According to his evidence, on an unescorted pass
the inmate is e~sentially responsible for himself and is to abide
the terms of the permit.
Mr. Butler referred to two policies contained in the
institution's standing orders. The first is entitled "Medical
7
Temporary Absences" and is dated March 22, 1990. This policy
indicates that completed medical temporary absence forms are to
be completed by institution health care staff and forwarded[ to
the shift supervisor who:
will complete a preliminary security check in
consultation with unit staff and senior on-call
administrator and decide whether an escort is
required. If so, the instructions for the
escort/watch officer shall be written in the form..
Another policy, entitled "Community Escorts and Offender
Transportation", d&ted August 1, 1990 indicates that the shift
.supervisor will be responsible for decisions about escorts. It
goes on to state:
One or more escorting officers shall be assigned
in addition to the driver of the vehicle except
for community occupational development (work) and
recreation pro~rammes, transfers to community
resource centres and similar activities, provided
that there will be no unnecessarylrisk to the
driver/escorting officer.
Mr. Butler testified that while these policies were prepared
and dated prior to the grievance they were not printed and
distributed until about August, 1991. Mr. Butler testified that
he had assumed that these policies were complied with at the time
of the grievances however he determined that security matters had
been dealt with at the duty office rather than at the shift
supervisor's office. Mr. Butler acknowledged that it was
possible that no seourity check other than that described by Mr.
Auld was in fact carried out at the time of the grievance.
8
The Board heard certain evidence called by both parties about
events subsequent to the filing of the grievance. Mr. Butler
prepared a memorandum dated October 31, 1991, indicating that
medical temporary absence permits are to be initiated by the
completion of the form by the medical staff during office hours
and by the shift supervisors outside of office hours. This
memorandum goes on to state that for permits completed by the
medical staff:
...The permit will then be forwarded to the
Shift Supervisor who will complete the
balance of the form, and assess the degree of
security risk and establish staffing needs,
as required. He may also Consult with his
colleagues, refer to the inmate's file and
institution history to finalize whether an
escort is necessary.
Institution d~ivers are not to be used as
escorts. They are to convey the inmate(s)
from the institution to the appointment and
back again.
If escorts are required, correctional staff
members shall be utilized.
Mr. Auld and Mr. Solomon were sent a copy of this memorandum and
told to "abide by it" by memorandum dated Decembner 4, 1991.
This memorandum goes on to state:
If you have other duties to complete while on
a run, you may leave an inmate on his own.
If you do not have other duties, you are to
wait until the inmate is finished, or otherwise
directed by the Shift Supervisor.
Correctional officers only are designated as
escort officers.
Mr. Butler testified that he' issued this memorandum to the
grievors because he understood that they felt that they had been
9
assigned escort responsibilities.
Mr. C. Thompson was called by the union as a "usage"
witness. Mr. Thompson is employed by the Ministry of
Correctional Services at Rideau Correctional and Treatment Centre
which is in Merrickville, Ontario. This institution is a medium
security facility. Mr. Thompson's position specification is
attached hereto as Appendix "D". Mr. Thompson's position is
classified as Correctional Officer 2. Mr. Thompson testified
that the position specification represents a fair description of
his duties with the exception that some of the percentages are
different. Mr. Thompson testified that he spends 65-70% of his
time transporting inmates and that when he transports inmates he
is assigned as the escorting officer on the temporary absence
permit. Mr. Thompson is responsible for a full search of the
inmate. All inmates are transported in handcuffs or leg irons.
Mr. Thompson stays with the inmate during the entire duration of
a medical or other appointment. He testified that he is expected
to have visual contact with the inmate at all times. When there
is more than one inmate, two correctional officers attend. When
the inmates are returned to the institution they are searched.
Mr. Thompson also carries out duties such as delivery of parcels,
which entails about 30% of his time.
Mr. Thompson has had the entire training of a correctional
officer which includes matters such as hostage training, self
10
defence and training in the application of standing orders. If
there is an inmate disturbance while he is in the institution he
is expected to respond and assume full duties of a correctional
officer. He is required to relieve correctional officers in the
dormitories, on meal lines, in admitting and discharge and as a
security officer on the front gate. He is given this assignment
about once a week, although not for a full shift. When he
relieves a correctional officer he has responsibility for full
security, to check to ensure that the area is secure and to take
control of the keys. Mr. Thompson assumes the duties of back up
officer during misconduct hearings two or three times a week.
We will deal first with the Union's "standards" argument.
The effect of the payment of the custodial responsibility
allowance in relation to a classification grievance has been
addressed by a number of panels of this Board. A number of
decisions have indicated that the payment of the custodial
responisibility allowance is "irrelevant" to the issue of.whether
a position is properly classified. However in Braund, 39/89,
(Slone), a number of decisions were discussed and the Board
stated at p. 26:
... where the classification is prima facie appropriate,
except arguably that it does not recognize the full de~ree
of custodial responsibility allocated, it is our view that
the CRA is relevant. The CRA is part of the bargain between
the parties. It is a supplementary allowance for
supplementary duties performed. It is the grievors'
argument that those duties have changed the character of
their jobs. If that argument were to prevail, then possibly
every job involving custodial duties sufficient to enjoy the
CRA could be held to be wrongly classified. That would
render the CRA superfluous. More appropriately, in our
view, the CRA should be seen as a consensual ~ pro quo
for employees whose jobs have been given an added component
which probably is not reflected in their classification,
but where the "bottom line" responsibility of the job, as
described in the standards, has not changed.
We agree with the foregoing approach. The issue is whether
there are core duties and responsiblities of the position of the
grievors at the time of the grievance that are not contemplated
by the classification of Motor Vehicle,Operator 1, considered in
light of the fact that the custodial responsibility allowance is
paid, such that we are persuaded that the job that the grievors
perform is really a different job that the job contemplated.
Notwithstanding the suggestion in Mr. Butler's evidence that
the grievors do not carry out custodial functions when
transferring inmates on unescorted passes we agree with Mr.
Monger that the grievors do carry out custodial functions in
connection with these transfers. Indeed, the position
description specifically states that: "they are responsible for
the correctional control and welfare of the inmates {hey
transport and submit reports re their conduct as required." It
is our view that other functions carried out by the grievors at
the time of the grievance are also properly viewed as custodial
kinds of functions. These other functions include perimeter
searches, searches of the inmates, assisting with escapes,
occasional picket duty and reviewing information about the inmate
prior to making a suggestion with respect to the necessity of a
correctional officer escort.
The first sentence of the Motor Vehicle Operator I class
standard indicates that it "...covers positions in which the
employees' prime function is the operation of motor vehicles..."
The second paragraph of the "characteristic duties" of the
classification touches directly on the kind of work performed by
the grievors in that it initially refers to the carrying of
12
passengers and. goes on to state:
Passengers may include residents or inmates being
transported from institutional facilities to
hospitals, other institutions, medical/dental
appointments, recreational outings etc. who are
usually accompanied by attendants, counsellors
or correctional officers.
The Motor Vehicle Operator 1 class standard specifically
indicates that drivers will "usually" be accompanied by
correctional officers when they are transporting inmates. While
this portion of the class standard suggests that responsiblity
for the custody of the inmate will' generally not be that of the
Motor Vehicle Operator 1, the use of the word "usually" indicates
that it is contemplated that there are occasions when the persons
in that classification may be alone when transferring an inmate.
Were it simply a matter of the grievors having control and
custody of inmates who were assessed as being sufficiently low
security risks that they could leave the institution on an
unescorted pass it would have been our conclusion that the
situation was precisely the kind of situation that the excert
from the Braund decision referred to above contemplates. The
duties of the grievors as they presently exist, following the
clarification of this matter in late 1991 fall clearly within the
first sentence of the'Driver 1 class standard in that their'
"prime function is the operation of motor vehicles". There is a
recognition of the custodial component of the grievors' duties by
virtue of the fact that they receive the custodial responsibility
allowance. The other custodial duties that the grievors perform
are not of such a nature nor are they carried out with such
frequency that we could have accepted the Union's submission that
notwithstanding the payment of the custodial responsiblity
allowance the position is improperly classified.
However, at the time of the grievance the grievors had the
responsibility of assessing the security risk of persons going
13
out on passes and determining whether a correctional officer was
required. While there were some instances in which the matter of
security on passes was addressed by supervision at the outs. et it
was clear from the evidence that it was common for this matter to
be left to the grievors to deal with. While they would only make
recommendations for further security in the form of a
correctional officer, they were allowed the responsibility of
determining whether that request would.be made. In carrying out
this task they openly reviewed information relating to the
inmates and consulted with supervisors'in relation to this
matter. While Mr. Butler may not have been aware of this matter,
other supervisors obviously were. Although the policies of the
institution contemplated that members of supervision rather than
the grievors would carry out this task, the grievors carried out
this work openly, for an extended period of time and, according
to the uncontradicted evidence of Mr. Auld, in accordance with
the training that he received when he commenced performing this
job. In making the determination as to whether a recommend, ation
for a correctional officer would be made Mr. Auld considered
himself to have the obligation to fulfil custodial
responsiblities to an extent equivalent to that of a correctional
officer. Clearly, the Rmployer has had the benefit of his
assumption of responsibility in this regard. Again, while this
greater assumption of responsibility may not have been
contemplated by Mr. Butler and by the policies of the
institution, Mr. Auld was uncontradicted in his evidence that his
approach was consistent with the training that he was provided
and that he has operated in this manner on a consistent basis for
a lengthy period of time.
It is our conclusion that the responsibilities of the
grievors referred to in the foregoing paragraph exceed those
Pcontemplated by the Motor Vehicle Operator 1 classification
considered in light of the custodial responsibility allowance.
Accordingly, the grievances must succeed. However, the Employer
14
has now limited the responsibilities of the grievors in such a
manner that in our view there is a comfortable fit between their
duties and responsibilities and the language of the Motor Vehicle
Operator 1 class standard, in light of the fact that they are in
receipt of the custodial responsibility allowance.
Given that we have accepted the Union's "standards" argument
it is unnecessary to address the "usage" argument except to note
that even if we were to accept this argument with respect to
circumstances as they existed at the time of the grievance it is
clear that this argument could not prevail with respect to the
circumstances following the limiting of the responsibilities of
the grievors in late 1991. The Board heard extensive submissions
from Mr. Foster with respect to the appropriate test to be used
by the Board in concluding whether usage evidence established
that an employee is improperly classified. In Mr. Foster's
submission, there has been some variance in the jurisprudence of
the Board with respect to the appropriate test. In our view,
whether the test is properly described as "virtually the same",
"the same", "substantially similar", or "substantially the same"~
the result is the same in this instance. The nature and range of
Mr. Thompson's duties and responsibilities are clearly
significantly broader than those assumed by the grievors
following the restriction of their duties in late 1991.
Given our acceptance of the Union's "standards" argument
that the nature of their duties and responsibilities of the
position of the grievors at the time of the grievance go beyond
those contemplated by the Motor Vehicle Operator 1 class standard
at the time of the grievance it is necessary to address the
matter of remedy. In our view, the duties of the grievors as
they existed at that time properly fit within the Correctional
officer 2 classification and we so declare. While we note that
the grievors did not fill the formal requirements for this
classification in that they did not formally complete a year of
15
sevice in the_Correctional officer 1 classification nor did[ they
fulfil the alternative requirement of completing a prescribed
training course, in our view the nature of the functions that
they performed placed them comfortably within this
classification. However, given our conclusion that the duties
and responsibilities of the grievors now fit comfortably within
their current classification, the issue of a different
classification for the position is essentially an academic
matter. The real issue is compensation for the duties that the
grievors assumed for the period of twenty days prior to the
filing of the grievance and December 4, 1991, the date that the
grievors were specifically advised of the limitations under which
they were to operate. We retain jurisdiction in this matter to
deal with any difficulties in the implementation of this
decision.
Dated at Toronto, this 18th day of December, 1992.
