EPD Program (Full Time Employees only) Sample Clauses
The EPD Program (Full Time Employees only) clause defines the eligibility and terms for full-time employees to participate in a specific Employee Professional Development (EPD) program. This clause typically outlines which employees qualify, the types of professional development opportunities available, and any requirements or limitations, such as minimum tenure or approval processes. By clearly specifying who can access the program and under what conditions, the clause ensures that professional development resources are allocated fairly and transparently among full-time staff, supporting workforce growth and skill enhancement while preventing misunderstandings about eligibility.
EPD Program (Full Time Employees only). Where the City provides an “Employee Paid Day” (EPD) program, full time non- probationary employees may request participation in the program, subject to the following conditions:
i) Employees may purchase up to ten (10) days per year and may request usage for one day intervals with four (4) weeks notice. Requests for 1 or 2 consecutive weeks usage must include the time which the employee proposes to take with the EPD request form.
ii) If there is a conflict in requested time off, seniority will be the determining approval factor.
iii) The Corporation agrees to be flexible with regard to the actual scheduling of EPD days due to travel arrangements and therefore will accommodate minor adjustments to scheduling up to two (2) months before the approved time off.
iv) Such approval will not cause overtime to be paid to the covering employees and will not be unreasonably denied.
v) For OMERS coverage and payment for any period of EPD days, the Corporation will align with OMERS guidelines. Employees who wish to maintain their service during their EPD days, will pay the employee and Corporation OMERS contribution for all EPD days.
