54.02 An employee is entitled to be paid for services rendered at:

1. the pay specified in Appendix "A", for the classification of the position to which the employee is appointed, if the classification coincides with that prescribed in the employee's certificate of appointment;
   or
2. the pay specified in Appendix "A", for the classification prescribed in the employee's certificate of appointment, if that classification and the classification of the position to which the employee is appointed do not coincide.

54.03

1. The rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" shall become effective on the dates specified therein.
2. Paragraph (c) supersedes the Retroactive Remuneration Directives.
3. Where the rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" have an effective date prior to the date of signing of this Agreement the following shall apply:
   1. "retroactive period" for the purpose of subparagraphs (ii) to (v) means the period from the effective date of the revision up to and including the day before the collective agreement is signed or when an arbitral award is rendered therefore;
   2. a retroactive upward revision in rates of pay shall apply to employees, former employees or in the case of death, the estates of former employees who were employees in this bargaining unit during the retroactive period;
   3. for initial appointments made during the retroactive period, the rate of pay selected in the revised rates of pay is the rate which is shown immediately below the rate of pay being received prior to the revisions;
   4. for promotions, demotions, deployments, transfers or acting situations effective during the retroactive period, the rate of pay shall be recalculated, in accordance with the Public Service Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations, using the revised rates of pay. If the recalculated rate of pay is less than the rate of pay the employee was previously receiving, the revised rate of pay shall be the rate, which is nearest to, but not less than the rate of pay being received prior to the revision. However, where the recalculated rate is at a lower step in the range, the new rate shall be the rate of pay shown immediately below the rate of pay being received prior to the revisions;

54.05 If, during the term of this Agreement, a new classification standard for this group is established and implemented by the Employer, the Employer shall, before applying rates of pay to new levels resulting from the application of the standard, negotiate with the Association the rates of pay and the rules affecting the pay of employees on their movement to the new levels.

54.06 When the regular pay day for an employee falls on the employee's day of rest, every effort shall be made to issue the employee's cheque on the employee's last working day, provided it is available at the employee's regular place of work.
