HEARING May 2, 2000
At the hearing in this matter, the parties agreed to the issuance of a consent award incorporating the minutes of settlement set out below:
Whereas the Union filed a letter dated March 7, 2000 alleging a breach of settlement dated February 2, 2000 between the parties, the parties agree on a without precedent and without prejudice basis to the following terms and conditions as settlement of the issues raised in the letter dated March 7, 2000:
Where an employee wishes to review his or her personnel file, they shall meet first with a Human Resources Assistant, or other human resources staff as authorized by the employer, in order to determine if there is agreement concerning the documents to be removed from their file, if any.
If there is a dispute between the employee and the Human Resources Assistant subsequent to the meeting referred to in paragraph one, and the employee requests, an appointment shall be scheduled between the employee and a Human Resources consultant who has the authority to determine the matter.
If an employee so requests, the employer agrees to remove the employee’s file documentation relating to union and discretionary leaves prior to transferring the said file to the new employer, and the employer agrees to discuss removing documentation relating to other types of leaves.
The union consents to the employer retaining the documents removed from the employee’s file pursuant to paragraph three in a file which it will maintain in its own possession.
The parties agree that Vice-Chair Brown will remain seized with respect to this settlement.
The parties agree to the GSB issuing a consent order incorporating the terms of this settlement.
Dated at Toronto, this 8th day of May, 2000
