Article 40: Job Classifications
- New Classifications
If the Employer creates a new classification within the scope of the bargaining unit, or if an existing classification is added to the bargaining unit, the following shall apply:- The Employer shall provide written notice to the Union of the classification title and proposed pay rates for the classification.
- If the Union does not agree with the proposed pay rates, the parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the creation or inclusion of the classification, meet and attempt to agree upon a pay scale for the classification.
- If the parties are unable to agree upon a pay scale, the Union may refer the matter to mediation/arbitration at Step 3/4 of the Grievance Procedure.
- During the conduct of the processes described above, the Employer may establish an interim rate of pay and fill positions within the classification pending the outcome of the processes, on the understanding that the ultimate pay rate shall be retroactive to the date of creation of the classification.
