Operating Procedures 3.1 Immediately a CHO identifies the at fault driver’s insurer as a subscriber to this repair agreement they must notify them in accordance with the insurer’s specified procedure (see Appendix A to the GTA for specimen New Claim Advice Form which covers hire, repair and personal injury). In the absence of a reasonable explanation for failure to notify the insurer immediately, the insurer will not be liable for storage/hire charges incurred before the notice was given. This notification will indicate which Repair Option is required. (a) Option 1 Procedure (Insurer’s Approved Repairer) (i) Insurer will respond within 5 working days of receipt of the New Claim Advice Form and ensure that an early decision will be given on liability.

Bumping Procedure In the application of this Article, permanent part-time employees cannot displace permanent full-time employees or vice versa provided that permanent full-time employees who have exhausted their bumping rights hereunder and are to be laid off from work shall have the right to displace a permanent part-time employee with lesser GO seniority, within their section. Such bumping within the section may only be in a downward or lateral direction provided they are qualified, willing and able to do the work (refer to Schedule “E-I” and “E-I OFPT”). Downward shall be defined as lesser pay per hour and/or lesser hours per week (permanent full-time vs. permanent part-time). Lateral shall be defined as same pay per hour. In the application of this Article, permanent part-time employees cannot displace permanent full-time employees or vice versa provided that permanent full-time employees who have exhausted their bumping rights hereunder and are to be laid off from work, shall have the right to displace any permanent part-time employee with lesser GO Transit seniority, within their section provided they are able, willing and qualified. Due to the nature of the bumping procedure and the unpredictability of the direction and results of that bumping, the layoff must take precedent over all other normal movement of employees (i.e., standing applications). During layoffs an employee may choose to accept an open position for which he/she is qualified rather than bumping within their classification or section and should he/she elect this option, they shall retain recall rights to the original classification without loss of seniority. Where an OFPT employee who has been notified or is on layoff and currently possesses the qualifications and skills of a position they have held previously, then the employee may bump laterally or downward within their section or another section where the previously held position is identified. At the time of layoff the employee must satisfy the criteria identified in the current job description, and the employee must have satisfied the performance standards of that classification. Should the parties agree that the bumping procedure will likely cause significant movement within a classification or section, then the parties may agree to have a “master” sign-up take place which will be the sole responsibility of the Union to administer.
