Article 8 - Wage & Area Rates of Pay

8.01 Wage schedules and other provisions applicable to various job classifications and work descriptions are as set forth in Schedule "A" as appropriate to the work. 


8.02 Additional classifications may be established only by mutual agreement between the Employer and the Union during the term of this Agreement, and the rates for same will be subject to negotiations between the Employer and the Union. Any addition under these terms will be put into writing and signed by a representative of the Employer and the Union. If the Union and the Employer are unable to agree upon such wage rates either party may apply directly for arbitration under Article 22.


8.03 Show Up Time
  1. An employee who comes to work without having been notified that there is no work available, and who is sent home because of lack of work, will receive a minimum of two (2) hours pay at his prevailing hourly rate. The employee will also receive his full accommodation allowance if and when applicable.

  2. Proper notification in the case of a camp is at breakfast time and notices are posted on the kitchen bulletin board.


8.04 Starting Work

An employee who starts work and is prevented from completing his normal work day will receive a minimum of four (4) hours pay at his prevailing hourly rate except when the work is suspended because of inclement weather or other reasons completely beyond the control of the Employer in which case the minimum will be two (2) hours. The employee will also receive his full accommodation allowance if and when applicable.


8.05 When there is a temporary shortage of work within a given work day in a specific classification, the Employer may employ the affected employees in another classification at the rate of pay of their usual specified classification provided the employee is qualified to do the required work.


8.06 If the shortage of work is for a period longer than the day outlined in Article 8.05 above, the employee may be given the option to work in another classification, for which they are qualified, instead of being laid off. The employee will be paid the rate for the new classification. This will be recorded in writing signed by the Employer, the employee and the job steward.


8.07 All references to base wage rate will be deemed to have additional premiums for general foremen, foremen, lead hands, and stewards.


8.08 Any employee who works beyond the mid-shift lunch break, and is sent home by the Employer shall be paid for the regular shift.
