Common use of MASONRY CONSTRUCTION Clause in Contracts

MASONRY CONSTRUCTION. When contractors other than masonry contractors decide to perform their own masonry work on Industrial projects and utilize their Labourers as Masonry Tenders, the Labourers shall be paid in accordance with the Masonry Labourers Collective Agreement for Cape Breton Island and all conditions (monetary) shall apply. The following guidelines will govern the classification designation for members newly joining or transferring into Local 1115 following the effective date of this Agreement: 2nd Level Apprentice: Documented evidence of performance within the construction sector is less than 3,000 hours. 1st Level Apprentice: Documented evidence of performance within the construction sector is less than 2,000 hours. Wages and benefits for the above classifications shall be per the attached wage tables. It is understood that the sole discretion and responsibility for determining the initial classification merits of new members will fall upon Local 1115. Once designated a classification Local 1115 members will shift classification based upon the documented accumulation of the hours worked within the construction sector referred to in this Article. It is agreed that all Local 1115 Apprentice Labourers will provide Local 1115 officials with documented evidence of accumulated hours worked in the construction sector. This evidence will be documented within an hour book provided to the member by Local 1115. The member will be responsible for having the Employer verify the total of accumulated hours on layoff, termination or upon request. Furthermore, the member is responsible for providing to Local 1115 officials the hour book upon the completion of the hours worked requisite for classification shifting or upon completion of employment with a given Employer, whichever comes first. It is agreed that a Local 1115 member’s position will not be terminated by an Employer on the basis of said member having accumulated the requisite hours for completion of apprenticeship. Upon attainment of Journeyperson status, an Employee shall receive the appropriate rate of pay from the first day worked following the attainment of Journeyperson status.
