Within each classification (i.e. Level II, Level I, Trainee) when the Employer is laying off from a project it will not lay off employees for the reason that they are over-qualified. 

In no event shall a Trainee (CNSC Operator) be permitted to perform radiography without supervision of either a Technician I or II at the work location unless he is being paid at Level I rate while doing the work.

On each project where an employee is assigned the responsibility of directing a crew of six (6) employees or more and keeping records of their hours of work he shall be paid a the following premium over his regular rate.

May 1, 2006: $ 1.25 per hour.
May 1, 2007: $ 1.50 per hour.

This premium is subject to the following conditions:

(a) Supervisors are to be appointed by management.

(b) No minimum or maximum number of technicians is required on a job site to necessitate the appointment.

(c) "Level II Technicians" are responsible for technical performance on a project in the same manner as previously without being appointed as supervisors. The responsibility to interpret film for other technicians on a site does not necessarily mean that a supervisor's rate applies.

Isolation Pay

Hourly rates of wages for employees covered by this Agreement when employed north of 60 degrees latitude shall be One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) per hour higher than those provided in Article X.
