WCB – Alberta (Millard Health) Collective Agreement 2021-2024

Article 16: Temporary Assignments

1. When an Employee is directed to perform the duties of a classification of greater responsibility, and where the Employee is deemed to have assumed the majority of the duties of this higher level position for at least three (3) consecutive workdays, they shall be paid the equivalent of one (1) increment on their regular scale or if they are at the top step of their range, they will receive an additional, four percent (4%) of salary. In the event the temporary assignment is for a period greater than twenty (20) consecutive working days, the Employee shall be paid at the step in the higher pay grade at which they would have been paid had the assignment been a permanent promotion.
2. Where an Employee is directed to substitute on another job outside the scope of the bargaining unit, the provisions of Article 16.01 shall apply. When the Employer temporarily assigns the Employee to a position outside the scope of the bargaining unit, they shall continue to be covered by the terms and conditions of the Collective Agreement.
3. During periods of temporary assignment to a classification which is assigned a higher salary scale, an Employee so assigned shall receive any overtime or call-back premiums based on the higher basic hourly rate.
