F-11 Expand the Types of Leave in the Policy on Compensatory Salary

Whereas The Institute promotes the balancing of Family Life and Union Activities and;

Whereas the majority of Collective Agreements negotiated by the Institute include articles which support the application of compressed work schedules to better accommodate our members’ work and family life balance, and;

Whereas our current Policy on Compensatory Salary approves full compensation replacement for a variety of leave types taken with pay but specifically excludes a scheduled compressed day off;

Therefore be it resolved that the Policy on Compensatory Salary be revised to include “scheduled compressed day off” as one of the approved types of leave from a public service position that qualifies for full compensation under the said Policy, to a maximum of 7.5 hours.

Resolutions Sub-Committee Comments - Audit procedures will require adjustments should this proposed resolution passes because it may be difficult for members to provide supporting documentation when a compressed day is used for union business.
