cancelled by mutual consent of the parties.
- This Memorandum of Understanding supersedes the Regulations respecting Pay
on Reclassification or Conversion where the Regulations are inconsistent
with the Memorandum of Understanding.
- Where the provisions of the collective agreement differ from those set out
in the Memorandum of Understanding, the conditions set out in the Memorandum
of Understanding shall prevail.

PART 1
Part I of this Memorandum of Understanding shall apply to the incumbents of
positions which will be reclassified to a group and/or level having a lower
attainable maximum rate of pay after the date this Memorandum of Understanding
becomes effective.
NOTE: The term "attainable maximum rate of pay"
means the rate attainable for fully satisfactory performance in the case of
levels covered by a performance pay plan or the maximum salary rate in the case
of all other groups and levels.
- Prior to a position being reclassified to a group and/or level having a
lower attainable maximum rate of pay, the incumbent shall be notified in
writing.
- Downward reclassification notwithstanding, an encumbered position shall be
deemed to have retained for all purposes the former group and level. In
respect to the pay of the incumbent, this may be cited as Salary Protection
Status and subject to Section 3(b) below shall apply until the position is
vacated or the attainable maximum of the reclassified level, as revised from
time to time, becomes greater than that applicable, as revised from time to
time, to the former classification level. Determination of the attainable
maxima rates of pay shall be in accordance with the Retroactive Remuneration
Regulations.
- (a) The Employer will make a reasonable effort to transfer the incumbent
to a position having a level equivalent to that of the former group and/or
level of the position.
(b) In the event that an incumbent declines an offer of transfer to a
position as in (a) above in the same geographic area, without good and
sufficient reason, that incumbent shall be immediately paid at the rate of pay
for the reclassified position.
Employees subject to section 3, will be considered to have transferred (as
defined in the Public Service Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations)
for the purpose of determining increment dates and rate of pay.
