Common use of Ironworker Clause in Contracts

Ironworker. i. An employer is required to remit to the Commission, with its monthly report, $0.03 for every hour worked by each employee in the month preceding its report. This amount shall be increased to $0.04 on May 1, 2022. ii. The amounts thus collected constitute a welding qualification fund for which the Commission is fiduciary and which it administers, as need be, solely in compliance with the terms and conditions established by the occupational subcommittee for the above trade, set up under Section 18.12 of the Act. This welding qualification fund is used only to compensate an employee for registration fees, the time required and travelling expenses related to the obtaining or renewal of his certificate as issued by the Canadian Welding Bureau, within the limits specified in Paragraph iii. hereof. iii. The welding qualification fund reimburses an employee who passes an exam written to obtain a Canadian Welding Bureau certificate for two or more positions or to renew a CWB certificate, for the registration fees, travelling expenses and the time required, when he is in the service of an employer, up to $500.00. This $500.00 limit may be increased to $700.00 by resolution of the trade occupational subcommittee during the term of the collective agreement. The employee shall provide the necessary proof of his passing the exam and the expenses incurred. Regardless of the preceding, when an employee fails the exam, the welding qualification fund shall reimburse the employee for the exam registration fees. This reimbursement may occur only once per employee, per calendar year.
