CapitalCare Collective Agreement 2020-2024

Article 18: Temporary Assignments

1. When an Employee is directed to perform the duties of a classification covered by this Collective Agreement to which is assigned a higher salary scale, they shall be paid, in addition to their hourly rate as set out in the Salaries Appendix, the difference between the beginning rate in the salary scale for their classification and the beginning rate in the salary scale of the classification to which they are temporarily assigned. The resultant Basic Rate of Pay shall not exceed the maximum rate of the salary scale of the classification to which they are temporarily assigned.  This provision shall not apply where the period of temporary assignment is less than one (1) full shift.
2. Where an Employee is directed to substitute on another job outside the scope of the bargaining unit, the Employee will receive, in addition to their Basic Rate of Pay, a minimum amount of two dollars ($2.00) per hour.  An Employee so assigned shall continue to be covered by the terms and conditions of this Collective Agreement.
3. During periods of temporary assignment to a classification to which is assigned a higher salary scale, an Employee so assigned shall receive any overtime or call-back premiums based on the higher Basic Rate of Pay.
4. As part of professional responsibility, when an Employee is appointed to a temporary out of scope position they shall coach, mentor, and teach other bargaining unit Employees within the organization’s policies and procedures and philosophy of care.  Disciplining bargaining unit Employees shall not be their responsibility while in this role, however, they are expected to identify actions/incidents and discuss these with management in the event that follow up may be required.
