Grievance over missed overtime dismissed; overtime protocol does not apply to Schedule 5 management employees.
The complainant, a Staff Sergeant and Schedule 5 employee, filed a grievance alleging he was improperly skipped for an overtime shift.
The employer raised a preliminary objection, arguing the Board lacked jurisdiction because the Provincial Overtime Protocol applies only to bargaining-unit employees, not Schedule 5 employees governed by the Management Compensation Directive.
The Board upheld the preliminary objection, finding that the Directive does not prescribe a process for overtime distribution for Schedule 5 employees, and therefore no enforceable working condition or term of employment was breached.
The complaint was dismissed.
Grievance dismissed; random selection for limited overtime opportunity met operational requirements and was fair.
The Union filed a group grievance alleging the Employer violated the collective agreement by failing to distribute overtime fairly and equitably.
The Employer had limited a second overtime opportunity to 50-60 caseworkers who had already participated in a first overtime opportunity, selecting them randomly.
The Arbitrator dismissed the grievance, finding that the Employer's operational requirements—specifically the need for trained staff to address a backlog and the capacity limits of the training facility—justified the limitation.
The random selection method used to distribute the overtime among the eligible pool was found to be fair and equitable under Article UN 8.2.1.
