Why was the current ERT process created for Category C jobs?
The Union and the Company realized the need for improving the hourly ERT process. The current process, in place since 1999, levels the playing field by effectively matching employees’ skills with hourly jobs that require those skills. There are two main differences between the old and current processes: 1) employees need to successfully complete minimum requirements through the Required Training listed on each job’s Career Guide in order to file an ERT. 2) employees can now file their own ERTs through the Employee ERT Screen or with a QTTP Career Advisor.
