Decision
[1] On April 13, 2021 I issued a decision in this matter directing the Parties that Article
7.3 of the Collective Agreement applies to the determination of remedy in this case.
As the Parties were not able to reach an agreement on the issue of remedy, they
attended a hearing on April 28, 2021 to discuss next steps. As a result of
discussions with the Parties, I make the following order:
a) The Employer shall fix the Grievors’ wages at the FSA1 rate as of May 3, 2021.
b) Within 60 days of this decision, the Employer shall work with Ontario Shared
Services (“OSS”) to determine the Employer’s calculation of retroactive
payments due to each of the Grievors and shall share the details of the OSS
retroactivity calculation with the Union. The Parties agree that the period for
calculating all retroactive payments starts on June 4, 2018.
c) Within 30 days of sharing the OSS retroactive pay calculation with the Union,
the Parties shall discuss and approve the amounts of retroactive payments
required to be paid to each Grievor in order to implement the provisions of
Article 7 of the Collective Agreement.
d) I remain seized.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 29th day of April, 2021.
“Dale Hewat”
