Welcome OPSEU Full-Time Employee Group!

 

As we begin orientation, we want to ensure each member does not miss any important information or learning.  We encourage you to follow the steps outlined below to get onboarded. 

​

Important Information you DON'T want to miss! Understanding Your Rights​

​

Now that you're on your way, we want to address the benefits, rights and obligations for the 5 member groups under the Full-Time Collective Agreement.  Not all members have the same rights under the Collective Agreement (CA). To understand your rights, you need to understand which hiring group you belong to (see the list below).  Please note that the Full-Time CA Summary outlines which rights under the CA you have based on your member group.

​

• Full-Time - Working continuously for 35 hours a week or greater, for a period of 12 months or less than 12 months annually. 

• Appendix D - Working continuously for 35 hours a week, backfilling a regular full-time employee on a casual or temporary basis.

• Appendix G - Summer Student workers, working more than 24 hours a week from mid-April to Labour day. 

• Appendix K - Initiatives/Opportunities workers, work continuously for 35 hours based on the project for a set term.
