Canada Post introduces new Personal Days calendar on July 1, 2015
Audience: All APOC-represented employees and their team leaders
SUBJECT: Canada Post introduces new Personal Days calendar on July 1, 2015
Canada Post and the Association of Postal Officials of Canada negotiated important changes to Personal Days in the current collective agreement. These changes take full effect on July 1, 2015. As of that date:
- The “Personal Days year” for the allocation and payout of Personal Days begins July 1 each year and ends June 30 of the following year.
- APOC-represented employees will be eligible to receive a cash payment of 7 of 7 Personal Days, rather than 5 of 7 days.
Other important changes involve dates. Employees who want to carry over and/or receive a payout of their Personal Days have three available options:
- To be paid out, no action is required. All remaining Personal Days will automatically be paid with the third pay after July 1, 2015, subject to all applicable taxes and deductions.
- To carry over all eligible unused Personal Days, you must use the Personal Days Carry-over Tool available on ESS from June 1, 2015 to July 14, 2015 by accessing the Time Management tab.
- To carry over some and receive cash for others, you must use the Carry-over Tool on ESS between July 1 and July 14, 2015 by accessing the Time Management tab.
The maximum number of Personal Days an employee can bank in any given year remains unchanged at 12.
