Subject: Bi-weekly Spareboard Guarantee Claims

As a reminder to all Running Trades Employees, the bi-weekly “Guarantee Period” no longer coincides with the bi-weekly “Pay Period”. This change was made in August 2008 to comply with requirements specified in the TCRC-RTE Memorandum of Settlement. The following chart detailing Guarantee Periods in 2011 has been provided to assist in clearing up any confusion regarding the alignment of Guarantee Periods.

Key points to consider with the above calendar:

Effective August 2008, as per the TCRC-RTE Memorandum of Settlement, the bi-weekly “Guarantee Period” no longer coincides with the bi-weekly “Pay Period”.
Guarantee Periods commence on a Monday and conclude the Sunday of the following week (aligned with 2 weekly crew changes).
All earnings in the Guarantee Period are compared with entitlement in the same Guarantee Period.
Claims should be submitted with a Start Date of the first day of the Guarantee Period and an End Date of the last day of the Guarantee Period.
Claims will be processed in the pay period for which the Guarantee Period ends provided they are submitted by the deadline.
