Management Commitment Regarding Term Employees
The CRA commits to fair and responsible management practices in the administration
of term employment. CRA has completed an extensive review of its term population
whose tenure is three or more years of continuous service with CRA without
a break of more than 60 calendar days (referred to in this document as the “subject
population”). Management commits to the following:
-
Develop an action plan to address the recommendations outlined in
the term study within three months of the signing of this commitment.
The development of the action plan will be done in consultation with
the bargaining agent.
-
An analysis of situations where seasonal indeterminate employment
may be used will be completed by March 31, 2005. The analysis will include
the identification of types of positions where this option would be practical
and efficient, if any. The bargaining agents will be consulted on the
results of the analysis. Where it is deemed to be practical and efficient,
management commits to exercise its management right to consider staffing
in this manner.
-
An analysis of areas where the use of generic jobs would be efficient
and practical will be undertaken, in consultation with the bargaining
agent, and completed by September 30, 2005, with a view to implementing
these types of positions where operationally feasible.
-
It is management’s firm commitment to offer to change the tenure
of 25 %, at a minimum, of the subject population from term to indeterminate,
in accordance with the CRA’s Staffing Program (which includes
the staffing principles and the recourse applicable to the method of
staffing being used), over the period of the collective agreement commencing
on the date of the signing of this management commitment. The baseline
number of term employees that will be used for the purposes of this
commitment will be 1,100.
-
The proposed change in tenure is subject to the following conditions:
-
The work must be permanent in nature;
-
The employee is willing and meets the qualifications of the position,
including language.
-
The CRA will put in place a system to monitor progress on this
commitment. This includes provisions for transparent ongoing monitoring
and discussion and review. This review will take place in the existing
union/management forum.
-
This commitment is made without precedent and prejudice and does
not abridge management’s rights to administer its staffing program.
-
This commitment is effective on date of signing.
