A new expense form has been created by our Treasurer. After the by-law changes in January of this year, Policy 4: Reimbursing Members now states:
4.05.01
When members require union leave from work, their shifts are sometimes required to be covered. According to Article 15, Section 5, B) (iv) of the Collective Agreement “Relief necessitated by leave of absence for Union Business shall be paid at straight time.” Should a member accept straight-time union relief and gives up a regular day off the union will pay a union relief honorarium.
If the relief is for a 12-hour shift, the honorarium is $300.
If the relief is for a 10.40-hour shift, the honorarium is $275.
If the relief is for a 9.20-hour shift, the honorarium is $250.
If the relief is for an 8.20-hour shift, the honorarium is $225.
