HEARING
April 29, 2015
Decision
1In April of 2011, the parties signed a renewal Memorandum of Agreement for the Med/Arb process within this Ministry. In that agreement it was decided that overtime grievances should be dealt with on a regular basis at every institution. It was the stated expectation that the parties would “move forward together in a timely manner to resolve as many outstanding overtime grievances” as possible at each institution. Monthly meetings were to be scheduled for this purpose. It was hoped that these monthly overtime grievance sessions would resolve most grievances.
2It was also agreed in the Memorandum that Med-Arb sessions would be held to deal solely with overtime grievances from time to time. The parties would meet to attempt resolution of the outstanding grievances and the remaining disputes would be put before this Board.
3In May of 2012 the first decision from this process was issued. As agreed by the parties, that decision was without prejudice and without reasons. There have been further sessions and there has been no alteration to that process.
4Attached is a list of the grievances and the disposition thereto dealt with at our recent sessions held on March 2, 2015, April 24 & 29, 2015.
5All of the above grievances that have been upheld are to be paid at the applicable overtime rates and the monies owing are subject to statutory deductions.
6The parties are to be commended for the advance preparation and efficient presentation of these grievances.
7I remain seized in the event of implementation difficulties.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 11th day of May 2015.
