Procedure for Pay Classification Dispute Clause Samples

Procedure for Pay Classification Dispute. Where a new job function is established, or where the content of existing job functions are substantially changed, or an employee is improperly classified, the pay classes, rate(s) of pay, and other related matters shall be established by the Company. In the event the Union disputes the Company’s decision on the matter and fails to negotiate the difference, the matter may be a subject of a complaint and may be referred to arbitration. The arbitrator or Board of Arbitration shall have the power to determine appropriate pay classes, rates of pay, and other related matters in issue, effective the date the job functions were changed or new job functions were established. The Company shall, however, establish the rates of pay for new job functions until agreement, or the decision of an arbitrator or Board of Arbitration has been given, at which time the rate of pay shall be retroactive for the hours worked in the new pay class.
