These hours shall be designated so as to be consecutive, except for meal periods.

Notwithstanding the above, the Employer, with at least forty-eight (48) hours notice, may reschedule the eight (8) hour work period.

Dear Mr. Boucher:

RE: Granting of Days Off

This letter will confirm the understanding reached between the Employer and the Canadian Merchant Service Guild in negotiations with respect to the granting of days off.

For the duration of the Ships' Officers Group Collective Agreement which will expire on March 31, 2011 the Employer recognizes the desirability of granting days off at such times and in such locations so as to provide an officer the opportunity to enjoy his/her days off preferably at home, or if not at home, in a community which affords the officer a recreational outlet.

The Employer shall designate a home port for each officer, and subject to operational requirements undertakes the following:

1. The Employer will grant an officer compensatory leave in the officer's home port unless otherwise mutually agreed.

2. The Employer will grant days of rest to an officer either

3. When 2 above does not apply, an officer shall work on his/her day of rest at the applicable overtime compensation or, if, in the opinion of the Employer, sufficient work is not available and the officer does not work, the officer shall be granted one-half (1/2) day of compensation. If the officer works less than a day, he/she shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours' pay at the applicable premium rate.

The Employer further undertakes, on request in writing from the Guild, to consult with the Guild with respect to locations which the Employer considers provide adequate recreational facilities as envisaged in 2(c) above.

Dear Mr. Boucher:

RE: Variable Hours Of Work

This will confirm the understanding reached by the parties in negotiations regarding the implementation of a variable hours work schedule for officers working under Appendix "K" and "L".

It is agreed that the implementation of any such variation in the hours of work shall not result in any additional expenditure or cost by reasons only of such variation, nor shall it be deemed to prohibit the right of the Employer to schedule any hours of work permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

Any special arrangement may be at the request of either party and must be mutually agreed between the Employer and the Guild and shall apply to all employees at the work unit.

1. General Terms

Officers, with the approval of the Employer, may complete their weekly hours of employment in a period other than five (5) full days provided that over a period to be determined by the Employer, officers work an average of forty (40) hours per week. In every such period, officers shall be granted days of rest on days not scheduled as normal work days for them.

The starting and finishing times, meal breaks and rest periods shall be determined according to operational requirements as determined by the Employer.

Scheduled hours shall be consecutive, exclusive of meal periods, and all hours in excess of the scheduled hours shall be overtime hours.

The maximum life of a schedule shall be six (6) months.

Normally, the cancellation of any agreed compressed work schedule shall require fourteen (14) days notice.

2. Designated Paid Holidays

A designated paid holiday shall account for the normal daily hours specified in Article 21.

When an officer works on a Designated Paid holiday, the officer shall be compensated, in addition to the normal daily hours' pay, time and one-half (1 1/2) up to his or her regular scheduled hours worked and double (2) time for all hours worked in excess of his or her regular scheduled hours.

3. Leave

Where an officer is granted bereavement leave in accordance with the provisions of Article 23.02 a day shall equal the scheduled hours of work.

Dear Mr. Boucher:

RE: Training

This will confirm the understanding reached by the parties in negotiations regarding the application of training for officers working under Appendices "H", "I" and "J".

The following activities shall be deemed to be training:

(c) a seminar, convention or study session in a specialized field directly related to the officer's work,

**

Short Term Training

For short term training the officer shall remain in their normal "work cycle". In those periods where the officer is undertaking training during the normally scheduled off duty portion of the work cycle the officer will be compensated for the scheduled training period at their straight time rate of pay.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between
The Canadian Merchant Service Guild
and
the Treasury Board
on
Special Lay Day Bank - 65 Day Cap

In accordance with Article 39, the parties agree to amend the Collective Agreement as follows:

The Employer and the Canadian Merchant Service Guild agree to the continuation of the Memorandum of Understanding on "Special Lay Day Banks".

It is understood that in recognition of operational and administrative difficulties in scheduling personnel, there is a need to establish a "Special Lay Day Bank" which will be administered, effective the date of signing of this memorandum, in accordance with the following procedures:

(A) When an Officer is scheduled or required to work where he/she exceeds the 65 day cap on lay-days, the additional lay-days so earned (i.e., lay-day factor) shall be accumulated in the "Special Leave Bank".

(B) Credits shall be accumulated in days and Officers shall be advised in writing, on each occasion that days are added to this "Special Lay Day Bank", of the number of days and the lay-day rate at which they have been earned.

(C) Credits in this "Special Lay Day Bank" shall be held in reserve to be liquidated as time off work with pay at the request of the Officer and at the discretion of the Employer or at the request of the Employer subject to the Employer making every reasonable effort, subject to operational requirements, to grant the lay days at such time as the Officer may request.

(D) The accumulation of such lay day credits shall not exceed sixty-five (65) days. Should an officer reach the maximum of sixty-five (65) days, he or she must proceed on leave.

(E) It is recognized that lay day credits accumulated in this bank are intended to be taken as time off work with pay. Normally, the credits in this bank shall only be paid in cash in cases of termination of employment or permanent appointment to a position which is not on a vessel operating on the lay-day system, or is not within the same department or region.

For the purposes of cashing out such converted lay day credits, it is agreed that this will be at the lay-day rate of pay multiplied by 1.5.

Signed at Ottawa, this 24^th day of the month of October, 2008.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between
The Canadian Merchant Service Guild
and
the Treasury Board
on
Compensatory Leave

In accordance with Article 39, the parties agree to amend the Collective Agreement as follows:

Notwithstanding clause 30.14, for the duration of this Collective Agreement, the Guild and the Employer recognize the benefit to all parties of Officers accumulating compensatory leave credits for use in special circumstance noted in (1) and (2) below when Coast Guard Vessels may be non-operational.

Accordingly Officers are encouraged to accumulate and retain compensatory leave credits sufficient to cover:

(1) periods during which the vessel will be non-operational by reason of refit, repair, seasonal lay-up;

and

(2) periods during which the employee is not required to work in accordance with a rotational or relief crew system.

To facilitate such accumulation of compensatory leave, the Employer undertakes to provide officers with as much notice as possible of these periods.

Consequently, the parties agree, on a without prejudice basis that, at the request of an Officer, and subject to the approval of the Employer, compensatory leave credits may be accumulated in excess of four (400) hundred hours for these special circumstances. In the event that such accumulated compensatory leave in excess of four (400) hundred hours is not used for the purpose requested, the credits shall be liquidated in cash.

**Memorandum of Understanding
on
Temporary Lack of Work Situation

As a result of the removal of the vacation leave factors, as set out in paragraph 20 of the arbitral award (PSLRB File 585-02-10) and in recognition of the Guild's concern regarding temporary lack of work situations for indeterminate full time Officers and notwithstanding Article 30.13, the following steps shall be undertaken in the event of a temporary lack of work situation:

1. When a temporary lack of work situation has been identified, the Officer shall be informed in writing with a copy provided to the Regional Guild Office with as much notice as possible of these situations, and shall include the anticipated dates of the temporary lack of work. Consultation with the Guild at the Regional level shall take place.

2. The Officer's leave credits shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement and the MOU regarding Compensatory Leave.

3. The Officer shall exhaust all his/her lay-day, annual leave and compensatory credits.

4. When all the lay-day, annual leave and compensatory credits have been exhausted, the Employer shall endeavour to provide an opportunity for training or alternate assignment(s) at the Officer's substantive pay level during this period. Where alternate assignments within the Officer's home region cannot be found, alternate assignments in other regions will be considered. Nothing in this MOU will limit the Employer's requirements with respect to competencies, qualifications, knowledge and abilities for potential assignments.

5. A review of the current staffing situation (casual, term, acting positions) will be completed to determine if opportunities are available. Alternate assignments in reference to this MOU, will be made to positions occupied by casual and term employees prior to affecting indeterminate Officers performing duties in accordance with Article 35.04.

6. Consultation with the Guild at the National level shall be completed prior to an Officer being placed in off-duty status.

In no case will an Officer be placed in an off-duty status unless the above steps have been completed.

Should an Officer refuse an offer of an alternate assignment or a training opportunity in accordance with this MOU, the provisions of this MOU will no longer apply for this temporary lack of work situation.

**Memorandum of Understanding
on
Temporary Lack of Work Situation

As a result of the removal of the vacation leave factors, as set out in paragraph 20 of the arbitral award (PSLRB File 585-02-10) and in recognition of the Guild's concern regarding temporary lack of work situations for indeterminate full time Officers and notwithstanding Article 30.13, the following steps shall be undertaken in the event of a temporary lack of work situation:

1. When a temporary lack of work situation has been identified, the Officer shall be informed in writing with a copy provided to the Regional Guild Office with as much notice as possible of these situations, and shall include the anticipated dates of the temporary lack of work. Consultation with the Guild at the Regional level shall take place.

2. The Officer's leave credits shall be managed in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement and the MOU regarding Compensatory Leave.

3. The Officer shall exhaust all his/her lay-day, annual leave and compensatory credits.

4. When all the lay-day, annual leave and compensatory credits have been exhausted, the Employer shall endeavour to provide an opportunity for training or alternate assignment(s) at the Officer's substantive pay level during this period. Where alternate assignments within the Officer's home region cannot be found, alternate assignments in other regions will be considered. Nothing in this MOU will limit the Employer's requirements with respect to competencies, qualifications, knowledge and abilities for potential assignments.

5. A review of the current staffing situation (casual, term, acting positions) will be completed to determine if opportunities are available. Alternate assignments in reference to this MOU, will be made to positions occupied by casual and term employees prior to affecting indeterminate Officers performing duties in accordance with Article 35.04.

6. Consultation with the Guild at the National level shall be completed prior to an Officer being placed in off-duty status.

In no case will an Officer be placed in an off-duty status unless the above steps have been completed.

Should an Officer refuse an offer of an alternate assignment or a training opportunity in accordance with this MOU, the provisions of this MOU will no longer apply for this temporary lack of work situation.

Signed at Ottawa, this 24^th day of the month of October, 2008.
