Common use of Casual Work Clause in Contracts

Casual Work. 19.1 For the purposes of assigning casual work the Employer will create a casual list. The number of casual Employees on the list shall be at the Employer’s discretion and need not be hired through the posting procedure. Casual work will be assigned on the basis of seniority. The probationary period for a casual Employee shall be 6 calendar months. 19.2 Provided sufficient work is offered, casual Employees who do not work a minimum of 10 days per 12-month period may have their employment relationship terminated. 19.3 A casual employee who is hired to do similar work for more than three (3) terms of sixty (60) days worked each time in one calendar year will become a term employee. 19.4 Work of 60 (sixty) consecutive days or more must be posted as a term position. 20. Seniority 20.1 Seniority for full-time employees will be measured in days using the calculation of regular hours of paid work divided by seven (7). Seniority for permanent part-time employees will be measured in days using the calculation of regular hours of paid work divided by seven (7), plus a percentage bonus that is applied continuously throughout employment. In the first and second year of employment the part-time seniority bonus applied shall be ten percent (10%). In the third and fourth years of employment the bonus applied shall be fifteen percent (15%). In the fifth and all subsequent years of employment the bonus applied shall be twenty percent (20%). In no case will this formula for part time workers result in more than 5 days seniority per week. 20.2 For all Employees time on authorized unpaid leave shall be considered equivalent to paid time for the purposes of determining seniority. For greater clarity, overtime work shall not be included in determining seniority. Seniority shall determine, within the Bargaining unit, priority for appointments to vacant and new positions, layoff and recall, vacation scheduling and other rights or benefits to which seniority applies in this agreement. 20.3 Seniority shall terminate when the Employee voluntarily resigns, retires, when term employment ends and there is a break in employment of (6) months or more, or is discharged and not reinstated through the grievance procedure or arbitration. Seniority shall also terminate where an Employee fails to return from an authorized leave of absence without sufficient explanation, or fails to return to work from layoff within seven (7) working days of a recall notice. 20.4 In the event of a lay-off the Employer shall lay-off Employees in reverse order of seniority providing that the remaining Employees have the qualifications and ability to perform the work available. 20.5 Employees shall be recalled in reverse order providing they have the qualifications and ability to perform the work available. 20.6 A seniority list shall be appended to the Collective Agreement. The Employer shall post an up-to-date seniority list on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Employer will provide these lists to all Employees working outside of the National Office.
