WDP Spots

FYI There was a post up for 3 WDP spots. This post has been removed as it violated the CBA.217.19 – Employees not able to enter into the program based on the above limits may apply to the waitlist, set out as follows. o Effective November 30, 2016, employees on the REP wait list will be transferred to the WDP program waitlist. o A WDP waitlist will be established as of date November 30, 2016, for only those Operators who retire from full-time Operator classification and indicate an interest in transferring to the WDP program when an opening occurs. Operators on the WDP waitlist will have their service seniority frozen, for the purposes of application for future positions within WDP program entitlement only, based on their date of retirement. o When a vacancy occurs in the WDP Operator group, the following is the process that will be followed: • A notice will be posted, no more than 1 month prior to the opening occurring, for 21 days “to fill the vacancy” in conjunction with section 137 .01 of the Collective Agreement; • Applications can come from two sources: The Operator classification and the retired Operators on the WDP Operator waiting list; • A copy of the notice will be mailed directly to any Operators on the WDP waiting list. The practice is also to mail a copy of the posting to any Operator who has been off work for a minimum of 60 days who could apply for the posting based on section 217 .11 of the Collective Agreement; • The Operator with the greatest service seniority, either a full-time Operator or an Operator on the WDP waiting list, applying for the position will be awarded the position and a notice will be posted accordingly. A copy of the notice will also be mailed to any Operators on the WDP waiting list who applied for the position. If the selected Operator is a full-time Operator, the Operator will be given a 4-month window within which to transfer to the position exclusive of any CPP mandatory waiting period. If the selected Operator is a retiree, that Operator must meet all posting requirements, in particular relating to current and valid licensing and will be given one month to transfer to the position.
