Section 1
The term “employee” as used in this agreement includes all employees of the Company, except office staff, tel-sell representatives, account managers, supervisory personnel and those persons excluded by the Labour Relations Code of British Columbia
Section 2
The term "probationary" employee shall mean an employee who has not yet completed sixty (60) days of actual work within a period of six (6) consecutive months. During such period, the employee has no seniority and may be terminated at the Company's discretion. On completion of the probationary period, such an employee's name shall be placed on the seniority list and he shall be credited with seniority from a date, which is sixty (60) working days prior to the date on which he completed his probationary period. It is understood probationary employees have full rights to the Grievance Procedure of the Collective Agreement.
Section 3
The term "temporary employee shall mean an employee who is engaged by the company for periods of time when regular employees are unavailable, and for increases in work loads. Such employees shall be required to pay Union Dues and shall have no rights to the provisions of the Collective agreement. Temporary employees shall not be employed by the Company while regular employees are on layoff, provided that those who are laid off are qualified and available to do the work required. A temporary employee shall not acquire seniority standing.
Temporary employees shall be called by the Company for work and shall be laid off based on their total number of days worked with the Company so that the more senior employee is the first to be called for work and the last to be laid off, provided that he is capable of performing the work available.
Where a temporary employee works in excess of 1500 hours in any calendar year for reasons other then replacing an employee who is absent from work, the company and the Union shall meet to discuss whether that employee shall become a full-time employee. Where the Parties can not agree then the matter may be referred to arbitration, as hereinafter provided.
