PART-TIME STATUS

Where a resident works on a part-time basis, the provisions of the Collective Agreement will continue to apply without modification, save for the following:

20.1 The parties agree that the responsibilities, workload, call schedule, and salary paid will be reduced commensurate with the credit given for training by the RCPSC or CFPC. With respect to vacation, part-time residents will continue to be entitled to four weeks vacation per year, paid at the same rate of pay as the resident is receiving.

20.2 With respect to insured health benefits in 19.1 c), d) and e), these provisions will continue to apply unchanged to residents who receive RCPSC or CFPC credit equal to 60% or more. However, part-time residents receiving less than 60% credit will be required to contribute one-half of the cost of premiums required in order to maintain coverage for the period while they are working such reduced time.

Note: A part-time resident may opt out of benefit coverage in 19.1 c), d) and e) if she/he has equivalent family coverage, satisfactory to the insurer and PAIRO.
