5.02 - Job Change/Creation

1. Whenever a new job is introduced or where duties of a job presently in the wage scale are significantly increased, the Company shall advise the Union of the details including the proposed rate. During the period of discussion, an interim rate shall be paid, and if the rate finally agreed upon is higher, the increased amount shall be paid retroactive to the date the new job commenced, or the change took place.
   
   
2. Where the accumulated changes to a job reach the point where it appears that a higher rate is appropriate, the new rate shall also be subject to discussion. Where a higher rate is finally agreed upon, this rate shall be retroactive to the date that the Company or the Union raised the question of the need for a rate increase.
   
   
3. Where agreement on a rate cannot be reached, the matter may be processed through the Grievance Procedure.

5.03 - Employees Posting to Lower Rated Job
Employees posting to a lower rated job shall be paid the appropriate rate for the new job effective the date they commence work on the new job.

5.04 - Employee Accepting Higher Rated Position
In the event an employee accepts a position at a higher rate and returns to his former position, he will then receive the pay rate of his former position.

5.05 - First Aid Attendant
The Employer will train two (2) bargaining unit employees to have their level 2 certification.

5.06 - Cost of Living Bonus
The employee shall be eligible for a cost of living wage adjustment on the following conditions:

1. The Statistics Canada - CPI increases no less than eight percent (8%) per annum over any twelve (12) consecutive months starting at the base date and ending no later than the expiry date of the Agreement, December 31, 2010.
   
   
2. The base date shall be the first of the month following ratification of the 2008 – 2010 Agreement.
   
   
3. The wage adjustment shall be $0.01 for each 0.4% increase over the base CPI. All fractions of $0.005 or more shall be rounded up.

   Example:     CPI on base date 150 
                after 12 months  162
   
   Base rate increase      12/150 X 100%  =  8%
   Amount of wage increase       8%/0.4%  = 0.20
   

4. In the event that the eight percent (8% ) trigger has been reached the initial cost of living adjustment shall be made the first of the following month and quarterly thereafter.
   
   
5. It should be noted that the Consumer Price Index effective June 1 is the Index published by Statistics Canada on or about July 15th and so on in that manner.

Gratuities will be in keeping with the current practice.

5.08 - Service Bonus
