Here are some examples:<br>For PT Support Staff:<br>Only Regular Part Time employees who have completed probation will appear on the PT Seniority List.<br>Casual, Temporary and Student Workers will not appear \u2013 Our Local filed a grievance in November 2019 challenging the Colleges interpretation on who should be Regular Part-time Support Staff. There are over 700 positions we have challenged. This process will take a while and we are hopeful that the number or Regular PT support staff will increase dramatically.<br>For FT Support Staff:<br>Only employees who have completed probation will appear on the FT Seniority List.<br>Appendix D employees do not accumulate seniority, unless they become Full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: I am Full-time support Staff, but had worked Part-Time in the past. Do I get seniority for that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Yes you do, there is a formula that is applied to calculate the seniority. In the Adjustment Column you should find the number of days you were credited. If you believe that is inaccurate (or missing all together), please ask your Manager to refer you someone in HR to resolve this. Usually we do not need to get involved in the process and it is resolved through the College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: I am a Part-time support staff, but currently on Appendix D assignment. I don\u2019t see my name on either list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: While you are on Appendix D assignment you are part of the Full-time bargaining unit and as such you would \u201cdisappear\u201d from the Regular PT list and wouldn\u2019t show on FT one. Once you are back to your RPT job, your name should show up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: What if I have fallen on financial hard times and could use some support, does a Hardship fund exist within our Local?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A; Please reach out to your Local Steward to enquire about our Hardship Funding. Please know this process may take time for review and approval of requests for Hardship support. <a href=\"https:\/\/opseu.org\/information\/tools-and-resources\/the-opseu-sefpo-regional-hardship-fund\/159167\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/opseu.org\/information\/tools-and-resources\/the-opseu-sefpo-regional-hardship-fund\/159167\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: As a Full-time or Part-time member how do I access an OPSEU\/SEFPO Membership application form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: You can submit an application directly to OPSEU\/SEFPO via these links below:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/hub03.opseu.org\/Forms\/emaweb?EmployerSelect=Centennial%20College%20-%20Support%20Full-time&amp;local_code=559%20-%20Centennial%20College%20%27Caat-S%27\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hub03.opseu.org\/Forms\/emaweb?EmployerSelect=Centennial%20College%20-%20Support%20Full-time&amp;local_code=559%20-%20Centennial%20College%20%27Caat-S%27\">Full-time members application form<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/hub03.opseu.org\/Forms\/emaweb?EmployerSelect=Centennial%20College%20-%20Support%20Part-time&amp;local_code=559%20-%20Centennial%20College%20%27Caat-S%27\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hub03.opseu.org\/Forms\/emaweb?EmployerSelect=Centennial%20College%20-%20Support%20Part-time&amp;local_code=559%20-%20Centennial%20College%20%27Caat-S%27\">Part-Time members application form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Why am I not on the seniority list?
