18.02 The parties to this Agreement emphasize the necessity of a satisfactory grievance procedure, the purpose of which is to provide an orderly and effective process for the consideration and prompt resolution of the grievances of officers within the bargaining unit.

Both parties recognize that an officer, accompanied by an Officers' Representative if the officer so wishes, has the right to discuss with his/her supervisor a complaint relating to the officer's working conditions and conditions of employment, including those governed by the provisions of this Agreement, without prejudice to the right of the officer to have subsequent recourse to the grievance procedure.

18.03 An officer has the right to representation by an authorized representative of the Guild when presenting a grievance at any stage in the grievance procedure.

18.04 In this procedure:

18.05 Subject to, and as provided in section 208 of the Public Service Labour Relations Act, an officer who feels that he/she has been treated unjustly or considers himself/herself aggrieved by any action or lack of action by the Employer in matters other than those arising from the classification process, is entitled to present a grievance in the manner prescribed in clause 18.08, except that:

  1. where there is another administrative procedure provided by law to deal with the officer's specific complaint, such procedure must be followed,
    and
  2. where the grievance relates to the interpretation or application of this Collective Agreement or an arbitral award, the officer is not entitled to present the grievance unless the officer has the approval of and is represented by the Guild.

18.06 A grievance of an officer shall not be deemed to be invalid by reason only of the fact that it is not in accordance with the form supplied by the Employer.

18.07 An officer who wishes to present a grievance at any prescribed level in the grievance procedure shall transmit the grievance, either directly or through the Officers' Representative, to the officer's immediate supervisor or local officer-in-charge who shall forthwith:

  1. forward the grievance to the representative of the Employer authorized to reply to the grievances of officers at the appropriate level;
    and
  2. provide the officer with a receipt stating the date on which the grievance was received by him/her.

18.08 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a grievance shall be processed as follows:

  1. level 1 - the person authorized to reply initially to the grievances of officers;
  2. level 2 (and 3 in departments or agencies where such a level is established) - intermediate level(s);
  3. final level - the Deputy Minister (or his equivalent) or his delegated representative.

18.09 An officer may present a grievance to the first level of the grievance procedure in the manner prescribed in clause 18.07 not later than the twenty-fifth (25th) day after the date on which the officer was notified, orally or in writing, or on which the officer first became aware of the action or circumstance giving rise to the grievance. In the situation where officers are at sea, the twenty-five (25) day period will commence on return to the officer's home port.

18.10 The Employer shall normally reply to an officer's grievance at any level of the grievance procedure, except the final level, within ten (10) days after the grievance is presented, and within thirty (30) days where the grievance is presented at the final level.

18.11 Where the decision of the Employer is not satisfactory to the officer, an officer may present the grievance at each succeeding level in the grievance procedure beyond the first level not later than the tenth (10th) day after the written decision of the Employer has been conveyed to the officer.

18.12 Where the Employer at any level fails to reply to the officer's grievance within the prescribed time limit, the officer may present the grievance to the next level not later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the last day on which the Employer was required to reply to the grievance at the last preceding level of the grievance procedure.

18.13 The time limits prescribed above are maximum time limits in order to provide for circumstances which might cause delay. Both parties agree that grievances at all levels shall be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. However, the time limits stipulated in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement between the Employer and officer and, where applicable, the Guild.

18.14 Where an officer has been represented by the Guild in the presentation of the officer's grievance, the Employer will forward to the appropriate authorized Guild representative a copy of the Employer's decision at each level in the grievance procedure at the same time that the Employer's decision is conveyed to the officer.

18.15 Where it appears that the nature of the grievance is such that a decision cannot be given below a particular level of authority, any or all the levels, except the final level, may be eliminated by agreement of the Employer and the officer and, where applicable, the Guild.

**

18.16 Where the Employer terminates an officer for cause or demotes an officer pursuant to paragraph 12(1)(c), (d) or (e) of the Financial Administration Act, the grievance procedure set forth in this Article shall apply, except that:

  1. the grievance may be presented at the final level only;
  2. the thirty (30) day time limit within which the Employer is to reply at the final level may be extended to a maximum of sixty (60) days by mutual agreement of the Employer and the officer and, where applicable, the Guild.

18.17 Where the provisions of clause 18.07 cannot be complied with and it is necessary to present a grievance by mail, the grievance shall be deemed to have been presented on the day on which it is postmarked and it shall be deemed to have been received by the Employer on the day it is delivered to the appropriate office of the department. Similarly, the Employer shall be deemed to have delivered a reply at any level on the date on which the letter containing the reply is postmarked, but the time limit within which the grievor may present his/her grievance at the next higher level shall be calculated from the date on which the Employer's reply was delivered to the address shown on the grievance form.

18.18 An officer may, by written notice to his/her immediate supervisor or local officer-in-charge, abandon a grievance at any time during the grievance process. No person who is employed in a managerial or confidential capacity shall seek to intimidate by threat of discharge or by any kind of threat to cause an officer to abandon a grievance or to refrain from presenting a grievance, as provided for in this Agreement.

18.19 Any officer who fails to present a grievance to the next higher level within the prescribed time limits shall be deemed to have abandoned the grievance unless, due to circumstances beyond the officer's control, the officer was unable to comply with the prescribed time limits.

18.20 The decision given by the Employer at the final level in the grievance procedure shall be final and binding upon the officer unless the grievance is a class of grievance that may be referred to adjudication.

**

18.21 Where an officer has presented a grievance up to and including the final level in the grievance procedure with respect to:

  1. the interpretation or application in respect of the officer of a provision of this Collective Agreement or an arbitral award,
    or
  2. disciplinary action resulting in discharge, suspension or a financial penalty,
    or
  3. termination of employment or demotion pursuant to paragraph 12(1)(c), (d) or (e) of the Financial Administration Act,

and the officer's grievance has not been dealt with to the officer's satisfaction, the officer may refer the grievance to adjudication in accordance with the provisions of the Public Service Labour Relations Act and its Regulations.

18.22 Where a grievance that may be presented by an officer to adjudication is a grievance relating to the interpretation or application in respect of the officer of a provision of this Collective Agreement or an arbitral award, the officer is not entitled to refer the grievance to adjudication unless the Guild signifies in the prescribed manner:

  1. its approval of the reference of the grievance to adjudication,
    and
  2. its willingness to represent the officer in the adjudication proceedings.

18.23 The Employer shall designate a representative at each level in the grievance procedure and shall inform the officers to whom the procedure applies of the name or title of the representative so designated, together with the name or title and address of the immediate supervisor or local officer-in-charge to whom a grievance is to be presented. An information copy of the above shall be provided to the Guild.

Appendix "H"

Lay-Day Operational
Crewing System

This is to confirm the understanding reached between the Employer and the Canadian Merchant Service Guild with respect to the operation of vessels, or other appropriate situations where the Employer deems that continuous operations are desirable, on the lay-day crewing system.

The Employer shall make every reasonable effort to allow an officer the option of electing not to serve on a lay-day system, if the officer does so in writing.

The number of vessels operating on the lay-day crewing system can be modified from time to time through consultation by the parties.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Ships' Officers Collective Agreement, the following conditions shall apply:

Lay-Days

General
  1. Subject to operational requirements, the Employer will operate the selected vessels on a lay-day system. Under this system, all days will be considered as working days and there will be no days of rest.
  2. "Lay-day" means a day off work with pay to which an officer becomes entitled by working on the Lay-Day Crewing System for a number of days. A lay-day shall be considered a part of the work cycle and as such is not considered as a day of authorized leave with pay.
    Officers will be informed of the anticipated work schedule for the operational year. Officers will be notified of changes to the anticipated work schedule at the earliest possible time. Normally, officers will receive two (2) months notice of changes to the anticipated work schedule, with a minimum of fourteen (14) days notice.
  3. The workday will consist on-duty-cycle of twelve (12) hours of work per day. For each day worked or for each on-duty-cycle day on which an officer is on authorized leave with pay other than compensatory leave and vacation leave with pay, an officer shall earn one (1) lay-day in addition to the officer's Lay-Day rate of pay.

**

  1. An officer will be compensated at the applicable rate of pay as described in Appendix "A3", "B3" or "C3" of the Ships' Officers Collective Agreement. Effective April 1, 2010, an officer will be compensated at the applicable rate of pay as described in Appendix "A-4", "B-4" or "C-4" of the Ships' Officers Collective Agreement. In order to maintain the officer's rate of pay, the officer must either:
    1. work,
    2. be on lay-days,
      or
    3. be on authorized leave with pay.
    In the event that an officer does not work and is neither on lay-days nor on authorized leave with pay, his regular pay shall be deducted by an amount equal to his lay day rate of pay for each day's absence, unless the officer has received an advance of lay-day credits.
  2. It is recognized that lay-days are intended to be taken as time off work with pay. Normally, lay-days shall 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. However, at the request of the officer and with the concurrence of the Employer, lay-days may be converted into compensatory leave.
    For the purpose of cashing in earned lay-days, a lay-day will equal the lay-day rate of pay multiplied by one decimal five (1.5).

Advancement of Lay-Day Credits

At the Employer's discretion, lay-day credits may be advanced to an officer, subject to the deduction of such advanced credits from any lay-day credits subsequently earned.

In the event of termination of employment for reasons other than death or lay-off, the Employer shall recover the advance from any monies owed the officer.

Leave - Interpretation

Sick leave With Pay and Injury on Duty Leave can only be granted during the on-duty cycle.

Administration

**

  1. For greater clarity, a lay-day rate of pay is equivalent to six (6) hours of pay.
  2. Lay-day credits shall be accumulated at the rate of pay for the sub-group and level at which they are earned.
  3. Lay-day credits may be prorated on the basis of the hours in the normal work day.
  4. Lay-days which have been displaced by vacation leave may be paid out at the direction of the Employer. The officer will have the option of converting these days to either cash or compensatory leave. Lay-days displaced by vacation leave will be paid in cash at the officer's lay-day rate of pay multiplied by two decimal zero (2.0).
  5. An officer who has reported for work without being notified not to report, and remains ashore waiting to board his or her vessel for crew change, shall be considered to be at work and is entitled to meals and quarters under Article 25.
  6. Where the Employer alters the scheduled "off cycle" the Employer shall reimburse the officer's non-refundable portion of travel contracts or reservations made by the officer with respect to that period, subject to the presentation of such documentation as the Employer may require. The officer will make every reasonable attempt to mitigate any loss incurred and will provide proof of such action to the Employer.
  7. At the request of the officer and with the concurrence of the Employer, compensation earned in accordance with Article 21, Designated Holidays, may be converted into compensatory leave.

(Arbitral Award August 18, 2004)

  1. An officer shall not accumulate more than sixty-five (65) days in their lay-day bank. In circumstances where an officer is required to work after accumulating sixty-five (65) days the officer shall be paid, in addition to his/her regular pay and lay-day factor, the cash equivalent of one decimal five (1.5) lay days for each day worked beyond the sixty-five (65) day cap.
    The premium payment may be waived after agreement between the Employer and the Guild.

**

  1. For the purposes of overtime or any other hourly rated benefit the hourly rate shall be the appropriate rate found in Appendix "A-2". Effective April 1, 2010, for the purposes of overtime or any other hourly rated benefit the hourly rate shall be the appropriate rate found in Appendix "A-4".

  3. For each designated holiday for which an officer is scheduled to work, but is granted the designated paid holiday off, the officer will receive his/her regular lay-day pay and his/her lay-day credit for that day.

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
    1. in the officer's home port,
      or
    2. when, in the opinion of the Employer, an officer is within reasonable travelling distance from his/her place of residence or the officer's home port,
      or
    3. in a location which, in the opinion of the Employer, provides adequate recreational facilities,
      or
    4. in any other location which might be agreeable to both the officer and the Employer.
  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.

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".

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:

  1. 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".
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

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.

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 24th day of the month of October, 2008.
