An Appendix D employee, according to the Support Staff Collective Agreement (under Appendix D), is any "person employed on a temporary or casual basis to replace bargaining unit employees absent due to vacation, sick leave, or leaves of absence". 

An Appendix D authorization must be raised any time that there is leave replacement, even if only for one day.  In addition, there may be only one Appendix D employee replacing the absent full-time employee at any given time, and an Appendix D employee must not be used to staff a vacant position.  The name of the absent employee must be identified in the Human Resources Information System (HRIS) in the "Replacement For" field.

Appendix D employees must be paid on the full-time salary grid according to the classification of the person they are replacing.  While the Appendix D may be started at any step within their payband (at the discretion of the manager), they do have the ability to progress through the steps of their payband.  Appendix D employees are subject to the payment of union dues.

Other benefits available to Appendix D employees include:

• Additional 8% in lieu of fringe benefits and vacation.

• Overtime pay (1.5 times the hourly wage) in accordance with Article 6.2.

• Shift premium of $0.60 per hour for all regular hours worked between 5pm and midnight, and $0.75 per hour for all regular hours worked between midnight and 6am.  Where more than 50% of the shift is scheduled during one of these periods, the premium shall be paid for the entire shift.

• Payment of regular wages for all statutory holidays, provided the employee works on the days immediately preceding and following the holiday. 

• Payment of otherwise regular earnings during the holiday period of December 25 to January 1 inclusive.

• The right to use the grievance process to uphold those entitlements listed in Appendix D only.
