6. The reason given by Mr. Bilodeau was one of disagreement with another inmate who also worked in his workshop and the fact that he preferred that the inmate remain in the institution. [...] the union representative filed a document signed by Michel Charbonneau, staff relations officer, indicating that: "[translation] on a number of occasions, instructors report inmates as attending the workshop even though they are at interviews, working on projects in their cells or absent for other known reasons […]".

FPSLREB Decisions - Labour RelationsBreach of trust
Fraud
Termination (disciplinary)
[72] The grievor stated that the reason she made out the tuition cheque to Mr. "S", rather than to CDI College, was that she was confident that he was not going to skip town and pocket the money. [...] It is only an assumption on the employer's part that it was for personal reasons. [...] [130] It is unfortunate that the grievor did not express remorse or provide a reason for fraudulently applying for employment benefits for Mr. "S" under the Public Service Health Care Plan.

Subject to the operational requirements of the service, the Employer shall make every reasonable effort: [...] [4] Furthermore, adjudicators have long held that the equitable assignment of overtime pursuant to the provisions at issue in this case cannot be assessed on the basis of a single event, but rather must be determined on the basis of assignments over a reasonable period of time.

Incapacity
Jurisdiction
Termination (non-disciplinary)
As per the letter, the grievor's employment was terminated on that date, and, according to the grievance, the Record of Employment indicates that the reason for the termination is illness or workplace injury. [...] [5] The employer's response is dated November 15, 2002, and states that the Board is without jurisdiction to hear the grievance for two reasons: 1. [...] It is not I who is grieving termination for reasons of incapacity. With respect to the employer's argument on paragraph 92(1)(c) of the Public Service Staff Relations Act, the grievor wrote:

B2.03 Every reasonable effort shall be made by the Employer to consider the wishes of the employees concerned in the arrangements of shifts within a shift schedule.

Rejection on probation
The process was biased and unfair and the reason for rejection was unfounded. [...] In order to justify a rejection on probation, the employer needs only to demonstrate that it had an employment-related reason for its decision, not that all of its reasons were well founded. [...] I conclude, therefore, that the employer had an employment-related reason for rejection on probation.

Workforce adjustment
Any other remedies that are reasonable under the circumstances. [3] Following the completion of the evidence from three witnesses, including Mr. Kreway, it became apparent that Mr. Kreway wanted to be appointed to a position that he did not occupy, and which was encumbered by another individual. [...] [14] Appendix "E" of the collective agreement applicable to the grievor provides an obligation on the employer to make a reasonable job offer to affected employees. [...] [28] Hypothetically, there may be a situation where the employer has failed to make a reasonable job offer under the WFA (something it was required to do) and in order to correct this, the adjudicator may decide that the only reasonable job offer that can be made in order to adhere to the collective agreement provisions is

Katchin v. Canadian Food Inspection Agency - 2004 PSSRB 26 - 2004-04-15
FPSLREB Decisions - Labour RelationsJob description
Registration fees allowance
It is for this reason that, in my opinion, statutes such as the Professional Code and the Professional Chemists Act cannot be applied to federal employees on account of acts which they perform in the course of their duties. [...] Reasons for Decision [52] The issue raised in the grievance is to decide whether Dr. Katchin is entitled to have his CVO registration fees reimbursed for 2001 and 2002. [...] For some reason, he declined this assignment but it has been demonstrated that if he agreed to volunteer, he should proceed to euthanize animals by lethal injection.
