New Classifications - Changes to Major Tasks. a) Schedule "A" Classifications This sub-clause (a) applies only to positions listed in Schedule "A". Wherever there are new classifications, changes or amendments to qualifications or major job tasks as outlined in existing job descriptions, the Union will be notified of the change. The Union shall have twenty (20) working days after receipt of notice in which to submit to the Manager, in writing, any comments to the proposed changes. If the above changes constitute fundamental or functional changes in major tasks or qualifications or if a new position is created, the wage rates and qualifications will only then become the subject of discussion and agreement between the parties. Such being the case, wage rates and qualifications will be discussed and agreed upon, considering such factors as skill, responsibility, working conditions and degree of supervision. Where agreement is not reached, either party may request that the matter be processed through the grievance procedure at Step No. 3 and failing resolution at that step to a single Arbitrator appointed by the Minister of Labour for the province of Ontario whose costs will be borne equally by the parties. The Arbitrator shall have the right to decide the appropriate wage rate and qualifications as outlined above. Nothing in this clause will prevent the Corporation from posting and filling any vacant classification which is in the process of having its position description, qualifications and/or wage rates amended. Any change in wage rate will be retroactive to the date the changes or new position came into effect. (See also the agreement between the parties regarding maintenance of pay equity.)
