Letter of Understanding - Hourly rates for temporary part time employees

Th3 employer will continue i!s pracEce of r~ferring to Schedule A of the Collective Agreement to determine the hourly ratas for temporary part-Ume staff according to classification and experience required to complete the work.

Although the intent is to secure ra;es equlv~lent to Schedule A for temporary part-time staff, the employer can not guarantee Schedule A level rates, as pay rates are dependent on jundir.g for the pat-:ict.:lar program or service. When the funding for the specific program or service does r.ot allow for Schedule A level rates, the employsr will endeavor to provide rates that are as close as possible to those on Schadule A. In such cases, the Union will be informed of the pay rates in effect for the specific program or service.

The employer will ,also continue its practice of advocating with funders for ongoing increases.
