Do you have issues with your Record of Employment?

Did the hours that York calculated for your Record of Employment (RoE) seem wrong?

Did this potentially even interfere with your ability to claim Employment Insurance?

CUPE 3903 has been working to pin down exactly how the Employer has calculated the hours listed for members’ RoEs, some of which do not seem to reflect the amount of work completed by members. Staff have identified the opportunity to file a grievance to address this issue, but for that to happen—they need members’ data.

If you have an RoE issue, please provide:  
  • April/May 2023 RoE,
  • Aug 2023 paystub
    • (or final 2022-23 contract year paystub if not teaching in the summer)
    • Dec 2023 paystub,
    • May 2024 paystub,
    • May/June 2024 RoE
    • All Written Offers of Appointment for FW 2023-24
For members who submit all of those documents, it should be possible to:
  • calculate the correct hours and
  • file a group grievance to have the RoEs corrected

A jotform link has been released for you to upload the relevant information! For any questions, please contact Julian Arend, Staff Representative, at cupe3903staffrep@gmail.com
