8 D6 23.5

The Supervisory Differential is to be used in the following manner:

(1) determine the non-supervisory rate of pay according to zone and level;

(2) determine the Supervisory Differential by multiplying the applicable Supervisory Differential Percentage by the non-supervisory rate of pay;

(3) determine the supervisory rate of pay by adding the non-supervisory rate of pay with the Supervisory Differential.

For example, an employee on August 5, 2004 in Zone 2, at level 5 and a Supervisory Coordinate B6, would receive a basic rate of pay of twenty dollars and sixty-six cents ($20.66) as per Annex A. The Supervisory Differential of three dollars and sixty-two cents ($3.62) is arrived by multiplying the Supervisory Differential Percentage of seventeen decimal five per cent (17.5%) (B6) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable supervisory rate of pay would be twenty-four dollars and twenty-eight cents ($24.28).

The Inmate Training Differential is to be used in the following manner:

(1) determine the non-supervisory rate of pay according to zone and level;

(2) determine the Inmate Training Differential by multiplying the applicable Inmate Training Differential Percentage by the non-supervisory rate of pay;

(3) determine the inmate training rate of pay by adding the inmate training differential to the non-supervisory rate of pay as set out in Annex A or to the supervisory rate of pay as set out in Annex B of the Agreement if applicable.

Inmate Training Differential as Applied to a Non-Supervisory Rate

For example, an employee on August 5, 2004 in Zone 2, at level 5 and a C1 Inmate Training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of twenty-six dollars and sixty-six cents ($20.66) as per Annex A. The Inmate Training Differential of two dollars and seven cents ($2.07) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of ten decimal zero per cent (10.0%) (C1) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be twenty-two dollars and seventy-three cents ($22.73) for this particular employee.

Inmate Training Differential as Applied to a Supervisory Rate

For example, an employee on August 5, 2004 in Zone 2, at level 5 with a Supervisory Coordinate B6 and a C1 Inmate training Rating would receive a basic rate of pay (non-supervisory) of twenty dollars and sixty-six cents ($20.66) as per Annex A. The Supervisory Differential of three dollars and sixty-two cents ($3.62) is arrived by multiplying the Supervisory Differential Percentage of seventeen decimal five per cent (17.5%) (B6) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). The Inmate Training Differential of two dollars and seven cents ($2.07) is arrived by multiplying the Inmate Training Differential Percentage of ten decimal zero per cent (10.0%) (C1) by the basic rate of pay (non-supervisory). Therefore in this case the applicable rate of pay would be twenty-six dollars and thirty-five cents ($26.35) for this particular employee.
