charged with and finally acquitted of a criminal or statutory offence

because of acts done in the attempted performance in good faith of

his/her duties shall be indemnified for the necessary and reasonable

legal costs incurred in the defence of such charges.

15.02 Notwithstanding Clause 15.01, the Employer may pay

necessary and reasonable legal costs of an employee pleading or

being found guilty of an offence described in Clause 15.01, where

the court, instead of convicting the accused, grants him/her an

absolute discharge, provided that the Employer considers that the

member's actions in the course of performing his/her duties were

motivated by an intent to do his/her lawful duty, and that such

indemnification will not in the opinion of the Employer reduce

respect for law enforcement to the community.

15.03 Where an employee intends to apply to the Employer for

indemnification hereunder, the employee shall, within thirty (30)

days of being charged, apply in writing to the Employer for

approval to retain counsel and approval of the counsel to be so

retained.

Page 19: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARLETON UNIVERSITY … · Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union as the bargaining agent

19

15.04 For the purposes of this provision, a member shall not be

deemed to be "finally acquitted" if as a result of a charge laid

he/she is subsequently found guilty of, or pleads guilty to, other

charges arising out of the same incident or incidents, but nothing in

this clause will disentitle the member to consideration under

Clause 15.02 hereof.

15.05 Where an employee is a defendant in a civil action for

damages because of acts done in the attempted performance in

good faith of his/her duties, as determined by the Employer, he/she

shall be indemnified for the necessary and reasonable legal costs

incurred in the defence of such an action and the Employer at its

sole discretion shall have carriage of the defence. Where the

employee intends to apply to the Employer for indemnification,

he/she shall do so within 15 days of the commencement of the

action.

15.06 For the purposes of this provision, "necessary and

reasonable legal costs" shall be based on the account rendered by

the solicitor performing the work, subject initially to the approval

of the University Solicitor and, in the case of dispute between the

solicitor doing the work and the University Solicitor, assessment of

the account pursuant to the rules of civil procedure of Ontario.

15.07 For greater certainty, employees shall not be indemnified

for legal costs arising from the actions or omissions of employees

acting in their capacity as private citizens.

Page 20: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARLETON UNIVERSITY … · Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union as the bargaining agent

20

15.08 The Employer will not exercise its rights in 15.02 in a

discriminatory and arbitrary manner.

ARTICLE 16

HARASSMENT

16.01 Harassment of any employee is recognized as a form of

discrimination and may be the subject of grievance using the

procedures set out in Article 5.

The Union and the Employer recognize the right of

employees to work in an environment free from harassment, and

the Employer undertakes to discipline any person employed by the

Employer engaging in the harassment of another employee.

For purposes of this Article, harassment is defined under

two headings, sexual harassment and personal harassment.

16.02 Sexual Harassment

(a) Sexual harassment by an Individual: Sexual harassment

may occur irrespective of gender and is:

(1) unwanted attention of a sexually oriented

nature, made by a person who knows or ought reasonably to know

that such attention is unwanted; and/or

Page 21: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARLETON UNIVERSITY … · Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union as the bargaining agent

21

(2) an implied or expressed promise of reward

for complying with or submitting to a sexually oriented request or

advance; and/or

(3) an implied or expressed threat of reprisal for

not complying with or submitting to a sexually oriented request or

advance.

(b) Hostile Environment: Sexual harassment may also be

engaging in a course of sexual comment or conduct that is known

or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. This form of

sexual harassment may affect individuals or groups. It may be

based on gender or sexual orientation. It may take the form of

excluding an individual or a group from rights and/or privileges to

which they are otherwise entitled.

16.03 Personal Harassment

Harassment means engaging in a course of vexatious

comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be

known to be unwelcome.

Harassment can be either psychological or physical or it can

be a combination of both. It is any behaviour, whether deliberate

or negligent, which denies individuals their dignity and respect, is

offensive, embarrassing or humiliating to the individual and

adversely affects the working environment.

Page 22: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARLETON UNIVERSITY … · Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union as the bargaining agent

22

16.04 Where the alleged harasser is the person who would

normally deal with any of the steps of the grievance, the grievance

shall automatically be sent forward to the next step.

16.05 At no time during or after a harassment grievance shall the

grievor be removed from the area of the alleged harasser unless

fully and entirely voluntarily requested or agreed to by the grievor

and without prejudice to the validity of the grievance.

16.06 Any employee who chooses to make use of any or all of the

Employer's sexual harassment policy shall not, by such use, be

prevented from filing a grievance at any time prior to agreeing to

any mediated settlement under that policy. The time limit for filing

such a grievance under Article 5 will be extended by whatever

amount of time is required to process the complaint and reach a

decision under the Employer's policy.

ARTICLE 17

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

17.01 The Employer shall grant three (3) working days off

without pay in order to make the necessary arrangements and to

attend the funeral of a member of the employee‟s immediate

family. Immediate family is defined as father, mother, stepfather,

stepmother, foster parent, brother, sister, spouse, child, stepchild,

ward of the employee, grandchild of the employee, father-in-law,

mother-in-law and grandparents.

Page 23: COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CARLETON UNIVERSITY … · Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union as the bargaining agent

23

17.02 In the event of the death of an employee's sister-in-law,

brother-in-law, daughter-in-law or son-in-law, the Employer shall

grant one day off without pay to attend the funeral.

17.03 (a) Upon request, the Employer shall grant up to 10 days

leave without pay and without loss of seniority in any one year for

the entire bargaining unit to employees elected or appointed by the

Union to represent them at conferences or meetings.

(b) For the purposes of this section, when two (2)

employees of the same shift require the same time off, the

Employer shall grant this time off providing the employees

concerned arrange for an exchange of shifts with another employee

who is not scheduled to work during the time required. For the

purposes of this section, the Employer will not grant leave without

pay to more than two employees at one time to attend conferences

or meetings, including attendance at collective bargaining sessions.
