Common use of Utility Person Clause in Contracts

Utility Person. (Coquitlam Only) Utility persons can be used on production type work but are restricted to steam cleaning, mask and paint, oven loading and unloading, and Journeyman assistance. A person hired into the classification of Utility Person may be placed on an accelerated time schedule, including Skill Base 1, dependent on management's assessment of the person's previous experience in an industrial environment. An employee originally hired into the entry level of 0-3 months and who has progressed to the 1 year level, may be advanced to Skill Base 1 provided he has a forklift certificate and has demonstrated skills that are significantly above those of an average Utility Person. To progress to Skill Base II, an employee must be in Skill Base I for a minimum of two (2) years. On the anniversary of the third year an employee will automatically progress to Skill Base II, unless the company can provide documentation as to why the employee should not progress to Skill Base II.
