During the period of discussion, an interim rate shall be paid, and if the rate finally agreed upon is higher, the increased amount shall be paid retroactive to the date the new job commenced, or the change took place.
   
   
2. Where the accumulated changes to a job reach the point where it appears that a higher rate is appropriate, the new rate shall also be subject to discussion. Where a higher rate is finally agreed upon, this rate shall be retroactive to the date that the Company or the Union raised the question of the need for a rate increase.
   
   
3. Where agreement on a rate cannot be reached, the matter may be processed through the Grievance Procedure.

                after 12 months  162
