For the purpose of processing appeals, reclassifications shall only occur where there have either been significant changes in the duties, level of responsibility and requirements of a position or a position has been found to have been improperly allocated to an existing classification. This process shall not be used to make salary adjustments to existing positions or classes of positions. If necessary, revised class specifications will be prepared. Comparison classes shall be limited to the existing internal classes within the Township of \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587.\n(i) If the JCAC is in agreement, no further appeals will be available to the parties.\n(j) If the JCAC is not in agreement, the Union shall have one (1) additional calendar month to indicate whether it wishes to proceed to expedited arbitration.\n(k) The elements of the expedited arbitration process shall be as follows: \u2022 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 will exchange written positions on the dispute three weeks prior to the scheduled hearing; no additional information shall be presented at the arbitration hearing unless there is mutual agreement that a dispute over the facts exists. In that case, the JCAC shall attempt to resolve these issues prior to the hearing. Witnesses shall be asked to present factual evidence to a mutually agreeable arbitrator only if the dispute over facts cannot be resolved. \u2022 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 and \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 will present the Employer and Union positions at the arbitration hearing. \u2022 The hearing will be limited to the issues in dispute. \u2022 Any costs associated with the hearing will be shared by the Employer and CUPE Local 403. \u2022 The arbitrator will have one (1) calendar month from notification to convene the hearing and one (1) calendar month after the date of the hearing to render a decision. Such decision shall be limited to the issues in dispute.\u200c\u200c\u200c\n(l) In the event a position is reclassified upwards the incumbent shall be placed on the lowest step of the new pay range which exceeds the incumbent\u2019s previous rate of pay and their increment date shall be amended accordingly. Where a single rate exists for the class of positions, the incumbent shall receive the rate of pay for the position. In the event a position is reclassified downwards the incumbent shall suffer no reduction in their rate of pay by virtue only of a reclassification downwards and shall continue to receive all general pay increases and increments to which there would otherwise have been an entitlement, provided that at any time during the two (2) years immediately following the date when the position was reclassified downwards the Employer may unilaterally promote such incumbent to any other vacant position for which the employee is qualified, and which is valued at the same level as the position was formerly valued.\n(m) It will be incumbent on all parties to keep each other informed at all stages of this process and to request any extensions to the time limits that may be occasioned by unforeseen circumstances. It will be the responsibility of CUPE Local 403 to keep its members informed at all stages of the process.", "hash": "b154054a436633577ae1bf2f614050f0", "id": 5}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "right-to-appeal", "type": "clause", "offset": [27, 42]}, {"key": "the-position", "type": "clause", "offset": [65, 77]}, {"key": "an-appeal", "type": "clause", "offset": [100, 109]}, {"key": "in-accordance-with", "type": "definition", "offset": [119, 137]}, {"key": "provisions-of-this-article", "type": "clause", "offset": [142, 168]}, {"key": "a-grievance", "type": "definition", "offset": [197, 208]}, {"key": "under-article", "type": "definition", "offset": [209, 222]}, {"key": "the-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [229, 242]}, {"key": "in-respect-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [299, 312]}, {"key": "appeal-procedures", "type": "definition", "offset": [317, 334]}, {"key": "set-out", "type": "definition", "offset": [335, 342]}, {"key": "if-an-employee", "type": "clause", "offset": [364, 378]}, {"key": "immediate-supervisor", "type": "definition", "offset": [500, 520]}, {"key": "the-employer-shall", "type": "clause", "offset": [526, 544]}, {"key": "upon-request", "type": "definition", "offset": [546, 558]}, {"key": "provide-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [560, 571]}, {"key": "duties-and-responsibilities", "type": "definition", "offset": [609, 636]}, {"key": "within-thirty", "type": "clause", "offset": [637, 650]}, {"key": "the-request", "type": "clause", "offset": [664, 675]}, {"key": "a-dispute", "type": "definition", "offset": [693, 702]}, {"key": "the-supervisor", "type": "clause", "offset": [711, 725]}, {"key": "concerning-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [743, 757]}, {"key": "classification-standards", "type": "clause", "offset": [872, 896]}, {"key": "position-description", "type": "clause", "offset": [900, 920]}, {"key": "the-statement", "type": "clause", "offset": [925, 938]}, {"key": "formal-appeal", "type": "definition", "offset": [978, 991]}, {"key": "the-chief-executive-officer", "type": "clause", "offset": [1006, 1033]}, {"key": "respond-in-writing", "type": "definition", "offset": [1069, 1087]}, {"key": "to-the-employee", "type": "clause", "offset": [1088, 1103]}, {"key": "business-days-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [1124, 1140]}, {"key": "receipt-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [1145, 1155]}, {"key": "the-foregoing", "type": "definition", "offset": [1176, 1189]}, {"key": "classification-appeal-tribunal", "type": "clause", "offset": [1279, 1309]}, {"key": "final-and-binding-decision", "type": "clause", "offset": [1327, 1353]}, {"key": "the-procedures", "type": "definition", "offset": [1373, 1387]}, {"key": "right-of-union-representation", "type": "clause", "offset": [1444, 1473]}, {"key": "the-tribunal", "type": "clause", "offset": [1533, 1545]}, {"key": "time-limits", "type": "definition", "offset": [1555, 1566]}, {"key": "subsequent-to-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [1631, 1648]}, {"key": "signing-of-this-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [1657, 1682]}, {"key": "by-mutual-agreement", "type": "definition", "offset": [1704, 1723]}, {"key": "the-effective-date", "type": "clause", "offset": [1729, 1747]}, {"key": "day-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [1818, 1824]}, {"key": "weekly-period", "type": "clause", "offset": [1832, 1845]}, {"key": "receipt-by-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [1880, 1894]}, {"key": "written-appeal", "type": "clause", "offset": [1937, 1951]}, {"key": "pursuant-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [1962, 1973]}], "samples": [{"hash": "j9z2PfxqVHD", "uri": "/contracts/j9z2PfxqVHD#classification-appeal-procedure", "label": "Collective Agreement", "score": 33.274356842, "published": true}, {"hash": "3M4BaOjLRbC", "uri": "/contracts/3M4BaOjLRbC#classification-appeal-procedure", "label": "Collective Agreement", "score": 31.2979774475, "published": true}, {"hash": "7TaZSdjhiLF", "uri": "/contracts/7TaZSdjhiLF#classification-appeal-procedure", "label": "Collective Agreement", "score": 27.2576217651, "published": true}], "size": 9, "snippet": "An employee shall have the right to appeal the classification of the position he/she occupies.
