On-call service is the requirement to be available outside normal work hours to meet unusual conditions, satisfy needs for assistance or direction, and return to work within a reasonable time, as specified by the supervisor. During the period of assignment, the employee must be capable of responding. Normally, employees are not expected to be on call for a continuous, long-term period. Wherever possible volunteers will be solicited for on-call assignments.
Normally, an employee will not be expected to be on-call for more than 18 weeks in a calendar year. In the event that the employee is required to be on-call for more than 18 weeks, agreement of The Society and the employee is required.
56.2 Payment
56.2.1 Compensation for on-call service is applicable in the following cases:
a) There is a regular need for it (e.g. weekly, monthly, annually) and;
b) The supervisor formally notifies the employee of the on-call assignment in writing (email, memo, etc.).
If the employee is not notified of the assignment in writing, the employee will not be considered to be on-call.
56.2.2 The on-call service payment for any 16-hour period outside normal work hours twenty one dollars and fifty six cents ($21.56).
56.2.3 The on-call service payment for any 24-hour period outside normal work hours (i.e., Saturday, Sundays, Statutory Holidays and granted days) thirty seven dollars and thirty eight cents ($37.38).
56.2.4 The maximum on-call service payment for a normal work week is one hundred and eight two dollars and fifty cents ($182.50).
56.2.5 The on-call service payments specified above will apply only to the time periods as specified.
56.2.6 Where an employee (whether on-call or not) received an approved call while not at work the employee shall be paid at the appropriate overtime rate for all work performed prior to his or her next scheduled shift, save and except where the total of all work performed in such period is one-half hour or less, the employee shall receive a fixed amount of $35.00 for such work.

57 OVERTIME
The following provisions shall apply to employees when assigned to work overtime.
57.1 The method of compensation, for authorized overtime, may be money or time off at the appropriate premium rate. The employee or the supervisor may propose the method of payment, but it is the supervisor's responsibility to approve the method of payment most compatible with the unit's needs. Prior understanding between the supervisor and employee is desirable.

Monday to Friday Authorized overtime beyond normal scheduled hours worked in the day Time and one half (T-1/2)
Saturday Authorized overtime Time and one-half (T-1/2)

57.5 In addition to employees covered under Subsection 57.4, employees who are directly involved in the operation, maintenance or construction of production, transmission or distribution facilities (exclusive of head office staff) and who directly supervise or work beside PWU employees will be compensated with the equivalent to PWU overtime premiums for all overtime worked, including the minimum payments received by PWU staff for both emergency and scheduled overtime. Employees work beside PWU employees if, as a regular part of their job, they are required to work with PWU staff on essentially the same job, under the same general conditions, and their presence at site for the overtime in question is necessary for task progress.
Employees may be designated as eligible under the above on an ongoing basis or on an assignment by assignment basis at the discretion of OPG.
57.6 Recording Overtime
Management shall record assigned and paid overtime and will report the same to The Society every 6 months.

a) Travel Time in excess of one hour at the beginning and one hour at the end of the normally scheduled day will be compensated at straight time.
b) When an assignment requires departure from the employee's home the night before, or on a regular day off, time spent in travel will be compensated at straight time.
58.3 Emergency Overtime Work
Non-Prearranged Overtime Work: Travel time will be paid at the appropriate overtime rates for any work outside and in addition to normally scheduled hours for which there has been no pre-arrangement and an extra trip is required. Notification for prearranged overtime must be given at least 24 hours in advance of the start of such work.
58.4 Attendance at Seminars, Conventions, Etc.
a) When an employee attends a convention, seminar, training course, or similar function and does not arrive at the destination or depart from it until after normal work hours, no additional time allowance will be paid, i.e., this travel time will be considered as part of the employee's contribution to attendance at a mutually benefiting function of this nature.
b) Where OPG directs an employee to take a training course, travel time will be compensated in accordance with Article 58.2.
58.5 Flexibility
Variations to the provisions of this Article made by agreement between the supervisor and the employee are permitted, subject to Director approval.

59 SHIFT WORK (M&P, TMS/TS, OSS)
59.1 Definitions
Shift: All scheduled hours of a shift are considered to occur in the calendar day that the shift ends.
Scheduled Work: The hours of work assigned as per the shift schedule. Scheduled work cannot include overtime.
Regular Shift Schedule: A 12 month time balanced rotating shift schedule that covers the fiscal year ending on the last day of the fiscal month of December and posted as part of the station's Master shift schedule 30 days prior to commencement.
Positive/Negative Time Balances: Total hours accumulated in a time bank less the product of the normal scheduled hours of work for the position times the number of weeks since the time bank was previously balanced to zero. The result may be positive or negative.
Periodic Shifts: are shifts for non-shift workers who are assigned to shift for a limited amount of time. The shift schedule can be either a time balanced or non-time balanced shift schedule.
59.2 Shift Workers
Meaningful consultation with the Society will occur prior to the implementation of any new shift schedule.
An employee's base hours of Work will not be changed as a result of this Article.
Some jobs are shift work jobs e.g. Shift Operating Supervisors. Management reserves the right to put incumbents in these jobs on shift.
The job evaluation plan used to evaluate M&P jobs will be used as the vehicle to determine the relative worth of M&P shift positions within the shift family of jobs, and to establish appropriate relativity between positions in this family and other non-shift M&P positions.
The requirement to obtain and maintain a license(s) to hold a shift position shall be identified in the job document (description and specification).
The number of personnel provided per shift position shall be such that no regularly scheduled overtime will be required. Due to the nature of OPG's operations, it may be necessary for employees on shift to work some overtime.
Management shall retain the right to place employees in shift positions for training and development purposes provided that the implications of possible classification changes on completion of the shift development phase are fully identified to the incumbent before the shift position is accepted.
Management shall provide an opportunity for input from employees prior to establishing shift schedules.
Management will use reasonable efforts to provide a minimum of seven (7) days' notice for shift workers and non-shift workers working on shift, when their hours of work, as shown on the regular schedule, are to be changed, except in the case of a forced unit outage or for reasons of equipment failure or safety. Management will use reasonable efforts in revising the regular schedule so as to provide the following minimum hours off between shifts:
a) Shift change notices between 12-hour shifts will provide at least 12 hours off.
b) Shift change notices from a 12 hour shift to an eight hour shift will provide at least 12 hours off.
c) Shift change notices from an eight hour shift to a 12 hour shift will provide at least 15 hours off.
d) Shift change notices between eight hour shifts will provide at least 15 hours off.
59.3 Shift Allowances (M&P, TMS/TS, & OSS)
a) Shift Premiums
  • Shift work on Saturdays and Sundays: 50% of 95% of the MP4 reference point rate per hour worked.

  • Shift work on statutory holidays: 95% of the MP4 reference point rate per hour worked.
The statutory holiday shift premium shall be paid on an actual hourly-as-worked basis.
b) Shift Differentials
  • For work on an 8-hour afternoon shift (1600 - 2400 hours) - 80¢ per hour worked

  • For work on an 8-hour night shift (0000 - 0800 hours) - $1.10 per hour worked

  • For work on a 12-hour night shift only $1.25 per hour worked.

  • For work on a 10 hour night shift only - 80¢ per hour worked
59.4 Information Management Systems Division (M&P)
In the Information Management Systems Division (IMSD) where the shift allowance payable to an M&P Shift Supervisor does not amount to at least 112% of the shift-related payments received by the PWU-represented staff working the same shifts, an annual adjustment will be made to the shift allowance for the M&P Shift Supervisor.
Until OPG is able to solve the relativity problem in IMSD, M&P shift supervisors shall receive an annual adjustment which would result in a 12% differential between their shift allowance and the shift-related payments received by the PWU-represented staff working the same shifts. Where a 12% differential exists, no annual adjustment will be made.
Employees in IMSD who either start or leave an M&P shift position during the year will receive a monthly pro-rated allowance. One-half month's tenure is necessary for receipt of the allowance for that month.
59.5 Ten Hour Shifts
OPG may assign employees covered by this Article to 10 hour shifts, without a vote, with the exception of employees subject to the Letter of Understanding (LOU#14) re "Hours of Work for Field Management and Professional (FM&P) Staff" dated July 2, 1996.
The following conditions shall apply:
a) Notice
Management will use reasonable efforts in revising the regular schedule so as to provide the following minimum hours off between shifts:
i) Shift change notices between 10 hour shifts will provide at least 12 hours off.
ii) Shift change notices between a 10 hour shift to a 12 hour shift or vice versa, will provide at least 12 hours off.
iii) Shift changes notices from a 10 hour shift to an 8 hour shift or vice versa will provide at least 15 hours off.
