What could an employee challenge?
An employee could challenge his/her classification either on the basis that he/she did not believe that the new classification properly reflected the majority of his/her core duties and responsibilities, or on the basis that he/she did not see a classification that described the work that he/she does. The employee could not challenge the pay band for his/her job classification, nor the job description, nor the rating, nor anything related to the overall design and administration of the Job Evaluation plan. The CBC and the Union — through former CMG Units 1 and 3 and CEP Unit 2 — individually described the work within their units and jointly rated the classifications with Management. In the last round of bargaining, the CMG and CBC agreed to the pay bands and salary scales. It is important to note that, generally speaking, the classification descriptions are broader in scope than they were in the past. Each description profile describes the core function of the employees in that class
