Process
The parties agree to create a technical committee and a steering committee, with a long-term focus and commitment from senior leadership of the parties.
The steering committee and technical committee will be established within 60 days of signing. The committees will be comprised of an equal number of Employer representatives and Union representatives. The steering committee is responsible for determining the composition of the technical committee.
All time spent by employees in support of the Technical Committee shall be deemed to be leave with pay for union activities. The CSNC will grant leave with pay for employees engaged in these activities, including preparation and travel time.
The technical committee will develop all agreements and documents needed to support the implementation of an EWSP during the next round of collective bargaining. This work shall be completed within one year of signing. The technical committee shall provide interim recommendations for review by the steering committee on the following matters through a series of regular meetings:
- Consequential changes to existing leave provisions within the collective agreements, and the Long Term Disability Plan (LTD);
- Definitions;
- Eligibility conditions for a new EWSP;
- Assessment and adjudication processes;
- Internal case management and return to work services;
- Workplace accommodations;
- Creation of a Centre for Workplace Well-being;
- Governance of the EWSP, including dispute resolution mechanisms;
- Coverage of operational stress injuries and other injuries sustained by employees deployed in military operations;
- Harassment;
- Domestic violence; and
- Other measures that would support an integrated approach to the management of health for federal public service employees.
The technical committee shall review practices from other Canadian jurisdictions and employers that might be instructive for the Public Service, recognizing that not all workplaces are the same. Federal public service health and safety committees will be consulted as required by the steering committee, as well as leading Canadian experts in the health and disability management field.
The steering committee is to approve a work plan for the technical committee and timelines for interim reports within 4 months of signing. The technical committee work plan may be amended from time to time by mutual consent of the steering committee members.
Dates may be extended by mutual agreement of the steering committee members. The technical committee terms of reference may be amended from time to time by mutual consent of the steering committee members.
The parties agree if an agreement is not reached within 18 months from the establishment of the Technical Committee, or at any time before that time, to jointly appoint a mediator within 30 days.
Integration into collective agreements
- Once the parties reach agreement on tentative EWSP language and program design, that agreement will be provided to the Nuclear Regulatory (NUREG) Group bargaining table for ratification and inclusion in their collective agreement.
- The agreement reached on the EWSP shall not be altered by the NUREG bargaining table.
- Future amendments to the EWSP shall require the agreement of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat.

NEW - Memorandum of Agreement #7 – Vacation Leave in Excess of Allowable Carry-over pay-outs
This Memorandum of Agreement is to give effect to the understanding reached between the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada regarding the automatic pay-out of vacation leave in excess of an employee’s carry-over entitlements.
The parties agree that for the fiscal year-end at March 31st, 2017 employees who have vacation leave entitlements in excess of their carry-over entitlement (as per article 12.07(a)) will not have that excess vacation leave paid out automatically.

Vacation leave in excess of the allowable carry-over can be used by the employee, however all leave in excess of the existing maximum carry-over will be paid out as of March 31, 2018, and at the appropriate rate for which it was earned.
