Summary of Issue: Compensatory Leave


Decision A0373.07 Full Text of Decision A0373.07

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

The claimant filed a claim for benefits and it was established effective October 9, 2005 and he continued to receive sick leave pay until March 10, 2006. EI benefits were paid to him from March 14 to May 8, 2006. Between March 11 and April 28, 2006, he received wage-loss payments that he refused to cash. The Umpire upheld the Commission's decision that these amounts constituted earnings under 35(2)(c)(i) of the EIR and had to be allocated pursuant to 36(12) EIR. The FCA refused to decide on this issue since, in its opinion, the Umpire committed an error in law by neglecting to enquire about whether, under the circumstances, the claimant was entitled to the benefits. If there was no interruption of earnings, the claimant was not entitled to the benefits and the Commission had no jurisdiction in this case. The Commission could not decide on the earnings and the allocation until they make sure of the claimant's entitlement to employment benefits.

I agree there simply is no evidence, on the record, of the purpose for the crew rotation. In the absence of that evidence, where the claimant has regularly worked a greater number of hours, days or shifts, ss. 42(4) [now 10(4)] generally applies so that he is deemed to have worked a full week.

Summary:

I have some doubt whether ss.10(4) should apply (when a person regularly works more hours) to an employee working four 12-hour days and then is off 4 days. It may be reasonable to stretch the interpretation of 10(4) by averaging out the hours of work and say they work more than 40 hours a week. Employees of Fletcher Challenge Canada, Crofton Pulp and Paper Division, B.C., working four 12-hour days, then off 4 days, working in 8-week cycles. In addition, they are required to take additional time off at a later date, and this is referred to as a layoff.

Summary:

Ss.10(4) is a clear provision expressed in clear terms. It matters not if the collective agreement refers to lay-off, or lay days, or leave without pay, or two weeks on, two weeks off, the presumption raised by the statute covers them all, said the Umpire. FC not persuaded that the Umpire erred.**Worked for Marine Atlantic in Nfld. Entitled to 2 weeks off after completing a 2-week working period. The fact that it coincided with his lay-off is of no consequence. It is further of no consequence that as a spare worker his leave should be deemed to have occurred earlier. Upheld by FC.

Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

Employed by company member of Canadian Lake Carriers Association. Laid off 17-12-88. Lay days allocated from then on. As per agreement all time-off to be completed before 1-12. Only days of leave subsequent to 1-12 are to be taken into account based on CUB 13443 and FORTIN. When one is laid off or dimissed and is entitled to a period off work the interruption of earnings occurs after that off work period. This is no different from former provisions of reg. 37(3) and 42(4). Reg. 42(4) has merely been moved to ss.10(4) and reg. 37(3) has been amended.

Claimant shared his work with a partner working 9 weeks and then taking 9 weeks off. Held that 3 of the 9 weeks off come underss.10(4). [p._7-9] The reasoning of the Board implies that evidence of the requirement in ss.10(4) that a lay period be a result of having worked a greater number of hours than are normally worked in a week, must be found in the contract. Error of law. The actual practiceis relevant. [p._8]

Summary:

Providing unemployment insurance to an employee engaged in a work schedule which might be thought of as banking weekends would amount to a form of double indemnity not available to other workers engaged full-time in more regularly scheduled employment. It may be that the leave provision arose so that more union members could obtain work. Nevertheless, where the entitlement to leave arises for the reason that one regularly works long hours with little time off, 10(4) is applicable even though the leaveserves as job-sharing.

Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

Claimant submits that although benefit may be denied for those actual days of "shore leave", he should not be deemed to have worked a full working week. Ss. 10(4) is clear and applies if claimant's shore leave falls upon a Sunday or any one or more of the following 6 days. Fisherman entitled to "shore leave" between trips. Although he is provided with time off work, it is without wages. That is a difference between this case and many others concerning "lay days", but whether earnings are provided or not for such leave hasno bearing under 10(4).


Decision 18521 Full Text of Decision 18521

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

Regular claimants employed in fishing entitled to shore time between trips. What is relevant under 10(4) is that the period off work be that to which one is entitled under contract for reason of regularly working more hours. Compensation for those periods is not a pre-condition. It hardly needs saying that the UI scheme does not compensate an employed person for periods off work during a weekend. Ss. 10(4) has the same effect. It ensures that persons entitled to time off work pursuant to their contract would not be entitled to UI for those periods.

What should have been determined is whether the claimant regularly worked a greater number of hours than is normal in full-time employment, whether his contract called for a period of time off and whether the former was the reason for the latter. Assistant cook required to work 12 hours per day while at sea, 7 days a week. When he had completed 2 fishing trips he was entitled, under his contract, to a period of time off work, a period that would be equal in length to the immediately following 2 trips.

interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

The Umpire confused leave pay and leave day. The leave day provisions of the collective agreement were the only governing provisions for the purpose of applying 10(4) and 37(3). The leave pay provisions of the collective agreement are irrelevant for that purpose. [p. 32]


Decision A-0106.89 Full Text of Decision A-0106.89

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

Under 37(3) and 10(4), it is clear that where, under his contract, one is owed, on his last day of work, additional periods of time off work, this time must be allocated following his last day of work. The words used do not introduce consideration of receipt of monies. [p. 17] By reg. 37(3), when an employee has a lay-off or a separation from employment at a time when he is entitled to a period off work, the interruption of earnings will take place at the expiry of that period of time off work rather than at the time specified in reg. 37(1). [p. 16] The Umpire erred in law in concluding that leave pay and leave day (time off) were interchangeable and allocating leave pay on the basis that "the amount of earnings is that amount of accumulated leave pay from the first day of the month when he was laid off". [p. 18]

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
interruption of earnings compensatory leave
Summary:

Reg. 37(3) is a modification of the general rule, the interruption of earnings will occur at a different time. When read in its context, it does not merely refer to the obvious (employee on leave) but rather to one who has a layoff when entitled to a period off work. [p. 6] The only possible meaning of that clause in the labour agreement, "all such leave shall be completed before 1-12" is that which the Umpire gave it [p. 7], i.e. days of leave not taken by that date are lost and do not postpone the interruption of earnings [p. 13 in CUB].
