Ona Collective Agreement Vacation Entitlement

Sometimes there may be a difference between ONA members and their employers in relation to the collective agreement. These differences may be related to the interpretation, application, administration or alleged breach of the agreement. Ontario`s labour laws and your collective agreement protect you from the effects when you file a complaint. If you feel that your collective agreement rights have been violated, you may be able to file a complaint. Your collective agreement (a legal contract between the ONA and your employer) sets out your terms and conditions of employment, including rates and benefits, leave, sick leave and disability in the short and long term. Their contract also contains specific clauses relating to professional liability, workload, seniority rights, vacancy notices, timing and the complaints procedure used to enforce the rights of collective agreements. If the ONA and the employer cannot resolve the complaint at the workplace level, the ONA may decide to bring the issue before arbitration. Arbitration proceedings are a means of resolving malfunctions in which the union and the employer present their cases before a neutral external arbitrator. The arbitrator`s decision is binding, i.e. his decision is final. If you have any questions about your contract or the application of your contract, please contact the chair of your bargaining unit.
