LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
TRANSITIONING TO THE BELL VACATION YEAR
The following will confirm the understanding and agreement between the parties concerning TEAM members transitioning to the Bell vacation year.
This Letter of Understanding shall come into effect upon ratification of the revised collective agreement and shall expire concurrently with the collective agreement in accordance with the Canada Labour Code.
TEAM members who have an NCS date between January 1 and April 30, who are in a milestone year and entitled to an additional weeks' vacation, will receive the additional week January 1 of the year in which their NCS date falls under the Bell vacation policy rather than May 1 of the previous vacation year under the former Bell MTS vacation policy.
To address this deferral, TEAM shall provide a list annually, by September 1, to Bell MTS of those TEAM members impacted by this change. Upon verification, Bell MTS shall add five vacation days to the vacation entitlement for the affected employees. This shall be effective January 1, 2020 for those employees with a milestone date between January 1 - April 30, 2021.
