Common use of TIME HOLIDAYS Clause in Contracts

TIME HOLIDAYS. The Employer agrees to do an accounting in the first two (2) months of each calendar year comparing the holiday pay received by the Part Time employee in the prior year and the holiday pay they would have received for the Statutory Holidays set out in the ESA and calculated in accordance with the ESA. Where an employee has received less holiday pay than she would have under the ESA the Employer shall pay the difference to bring her to the ESA pay level. The first calculation will occur in the first two months of 2012 for the calendar year 2011. The parties hereby recognize and share the concern that women uniquely face situations of violence or abuse in their personal lives that may affect their attendance or performance at work. The parties agree that when there is adequate verification from a recognized professional (e.g. doctor, lawyer, professional counsellor), a woman who is in an abuse or violent personal or domestic situation may not be subject to discipline without giving full consideration of the facts in the case of each individual and the circumstances surrounding the incident otherwise supportive of discipline. This statement of intent is subject to a standard of good faith on the part of the employer, the union and the affected employees and will not be utilized by the union or the employees to subvert the application of otherwise appropriate disciplinary measures.
