OPSEU CTAR Working Group Update #9
December 12, 2007
This is the
ninth update in a series of communications on the activities of the OPSEU CTAR/OCCS
Working Group, a team comprised of representatives from OPSEU, Ministry of
Revenue, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Government Services.
New Lateral
Transfer Appendix
The Group is
pleased to announce that an Appendix (E) has been concluded under the CTAR
Workforce
Adjustment Measures agreement which reflects additional matches for the
Operations employees. As the CT positions in the new Appendix are already on
the lateral transfer list, there is no need for employees to take any action.
Matches will occur as vacancies for the new lateral transfer position are
brought forward for recruitment. A copy of the new Appendix can be found at
here and on the TRD CTAR intranet site
Residual Taxes
The process for
residual taxes is now complete. The three TA4 vacancies that remain unfilled in
North York are being held for redeployment purposes for those employees who do
not accept the CRA job offer.
Surplus Timing
for OPSEU Employees Who Decline CRA Job Offers
Many of you
have asked when notice would be issued to those who decline the CRA job offer.
At this point, the Working Group can confirm that surplus notices will not be
issued in 2007, rather surplus notice in accordance with the Collective
Agreement will occur sometime in 2008. There will be more communication on this
issue in future.
Ability to
Rescind Resignation After CRA Job Acceptance
A number of you
asked if there was the ability to accept the CRA job offer, then opt back out of
the offer before transfer date on April 3, 2008.
From the
perspective of your employment with the Ministry of Revenue, by accepting the
CRA job offer, you are notifying the Ministry of your intention to resign. This
is reinforced in the Memorandum of Agreement signed between the Ministry and
OPSEU on July 30, 2007 that provided for access to the job offer acceptance
incentive.
Click here to read the Memorandum. Having
submitted your resignation, you will not be able to unilaterally withdraw your
resignation.
The Human
Resources Agreement provides a fixed time frame for making a decision on the CRA
job offer. With the information provided through the various sessions prior to
the job offers, employees must carefully consider the offer and submit their
final decision.
