The grievor applied for education leave in 2003-2004 to complete her Bachelor of Nursing, education allowance and assistance for books and tuition – the employer had adopted a policy not to grant education leave in 2003-2004, and denied the grievor’s application – the grievor nevertheless completed her bachelor’s on her own time – the adjudicator found that the collective agreement did not address what education expenses may be considered for reimbursement, and that he did not have jurisdiction to hear that aspect of the grievance – he further found that, by relying on a blanket policy not to grant education leave in 2003-2004, the employer failed to exercise its discretion, which amounted to arbitrariness and bad faith.
