BETWEEN

HEALTH SCIENCES ASSOCIATION OF ALBERTA
(hereinafter referred to as the Union)

RE: MULTI-SITE POSITIONS

1. The Employer has the right to create Multi-Site Positions, subject to the following:

   1. Multi-Site Positions will be structured to work in no more than three (3) Sites and the Sites must be within one hundred (100) kilometres of one another;

   2. Postings for Multi-Site Positions will indicate that the position is Multi-Site and will identify the Sites.

2. When a Multi-Site Position has been established the provisions of Article 20.02 are amended as follows:
   
   “20.02 (d) Kilometerage and time shall be paid for all travel on Employer authorized business during the course of a shift.
   
               (e) Time spent traveling to the multi-Site location at the start of the day, or returning from the multi-Site location at the end of the day, is on the Employee’s own time and is unpaid.
   
               (f) When the Employee is required to start, or to end their work day at a location other than their designated work location, the travel is on the Employee’s own time unless the one way trip adds more than twenty-five (25) kilometres to their travel. In that case, the Employee will be paid kilometerage and time for their additional travel. The question of whether the trip adds more than twenty-five (25) kilometres to their usual travel will be determined by the shortest route starting (or returning to as the case may be) either at the Employee’s residence or at the Employee’s designated work location.”

This Letter of Understanding will expire March 31, 2024, or upon the date of ratification of the next Collective Agreement, whichever is later.
