Question 165-13(7): Retroactive Payments Of Northern Allowance
Item 6: Oral Questions

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, very recently this government and the union ratified a collective agreement. Under that agreement workers are entitled to some retroactive pay and I believe a one-time $500 northern allowance. Could the Minister indicate if this retroactive pay and the northern allowance has been paid to date and if not, when it will be?
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, some employees have already received the retroactive payments to which they are entitled, however it is taking as long as two and a half hours of individual calculations to determine how much an employee may be entitled to. Therefore, it will take the entire month of May before all retroactive pay has been issued to employees. As it is calculated, it is being added to their cheques. A large number of employees have already received their payments. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for that information. Is there a specific date that they will be finished this? I believe that there is a date timeline that they have to follow according to their collective agreement that this has to be done by. Could the Minister indicate when they will be finished implementing all this retroactive pay that is owed to the workers? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe that the final pay period in May is the one which people may expect to see their adjustments.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the agreement other things were agreed upon such as enhancements to medical travel, maximum for accumulation of special leave credits, shift premiums, duty travel per diem rates, that type of thing. When will these types of things be put into place, Mr. Speaker? Thank you.
