Wages

The union plans to issue bonuses to employees who perform well in their previous month of service. It will reward those employees with high ratings. The employee with poor performance or bringing huge losses to the Union will receive fines. The performance of every employee must be reviewed monthly to determine issuing of reward/fine. The criteria for rewarding/fining employee depend on employee’s salary rate, job group and the previous date of rating the employee.
i. The employee current salary rate is calculated in his/her current job group
ii. Determine the next high stage in employee job group or the maximum rate of the employee in his/her job group. Multiply this by the employee’s salary rate and multiply the results by 1. 03.
iii. An employee receives this amount as the total of his /her salary and bonuses. Bonuses are only found by subtracting this salary from previous.
Note: In case the employee figures hit the next job group salary and remain that for one year, he/she is entitled to promotion. Otherwise, the union should issue a detailed explanation.

The bereavement leave is allowed for 7 days, voting has 1 day leave and family leave happens for three months. Medical leave has no probation.
