Collective Agreement Implementation Update

Dear Members;

After meeting with the employer, we are pleased to inform you of the following implementation updates.

General Wage Increases 

• The general wage increase for most employees has been applied as of November 1^st, with payout date of November 22^nd.

            Retro pay calculations are underway and should be paid during the pay period ending December 12^th.

• CP Paramedics – Any paramedics who have worked in a CP role at any point, since the first pay period following April 1^st, will see their increase applied until November 15^th and will be paid on December 6^th pay day. The wage increase has been applied to CP hours and work.

           Retro pay calculations are underway and will be applied sometime in the new year, exact date is TBA.

• On-call Unit Chiefs – These paramedics will see their increase applied until November 15^th and will also be paid on December 6^th pay day.

            Retro pay calculations are underway and should be paid during the pay period ending December 12^th.

On-call Benefits

The employer is working to make necessary system changes to on-call benefits. At this time, we don’t have a definitive date when implementation for eligible employees will occur, however we have expressed the urgency and impacts any delay will have, as a result we have received a commitment that the employer will ensure retroactivity and develop an      interim process and communication for the implementation gap. 

CTP Changes          

            The employer is currently working on making changes to CTO as well. Again, at this time we don’t have an update as to when they will be ready to implement the changes.
