, Re. Group Leaders This letter confirms that Group Leaders are members of the bargaining unit are not management. Accordingly, Group Leaders do not have authority to impose discipline. Letter No. 7 – Re: Hospitalization This letter serves to clarify the definition and interpretation of the term hospitalization as contemplated in the benefits booklet pertaining to the sick benefit plan (Section 12.02(d)). The waiting period is waived on the basis of hospitalization only in the event that the employee is admitted and confined in a hospital for at least 24 hours as an in-patient or if admittance of an employee into a hospital is for a non-elective surgical procedure which involves a general anaesthesia or epidural and is followed by at least 3 hours of confinement in a hospital bed. Employees are required to provide, at their own expense, a detailed doctor’s note confirming both the medical need and the completion of a procedure which meets the definition above in order to qualify for the waiver of the waiting period due to hospitalization.
