Common use of Merit Process Clause in Contracts

Merit Process. An employee who wishes to be considered for a merit classification must put his/her request in writing to their Manager. A brief initial meeting will be held with the employee, the Manager and Manager – Human Resources to discuss expectations and timelines. The employee will have thirty (30) calendar days from the time of the initial meeting to submit his/her application with required examples of conclusions to the Manager and the Manager – Human Resources, failing which the application is considered to be void. The Manager and CTV Ottawa/ONG Manager – Human Resources will have thirty (30) calendar days to review the application in consultation with the Vice-President and General Manager. If the employee’s application is successful, the merit increase will be paid retroactive to the date of the employee’s initial written request. Should the employee fail to meet the thirty (30) calendar day requirement to submit their application and his/her application it thereby considered to be void, the employee may subsequently reapply and new timelines will commence. If an employee is denied a merit increase, the Manager and Manager – Human Resources will meet with the employee to provide an explanation of his/her shortfall and the employee may reapply one year after such meeting takes place. It is understood that the merit classification is not a longevity award and that a minimum of 8 out of 10 must be achieved on all of the stated criteria. Further, once an employee has successfully achieved a merit level, it is agreed that the employee will commit to achieve above standard performance on an on-going basis.
