This National Level Pre-Arbitration Settlement Agreement addresses whether management violated Article 25 by not compensating the grievants at the level 10 rate for time spent in training lower level personnel on ESP, ZMT equipment and LSM technology. It was mutually agreed that the grievants would be compensated at the PS-10 level for actual hours spent acting as on-the-job instructors in the onsite maintenance certification program, and that the compensation would be computed from the date 14 days prior to the filing of the grievance. Future application of this settlement was limited to those PS-9 Electronic Technicians who are certified to act as OSMC-OJT informal instructors in the formal OSMC programs, and who conduct all of the OJT phases including instruction of trainees, evaluation of trainees, certifying completion of training-modules, and final certification of trainees. This settlement was not applicable to those informal on-the-job instruction and guidance duties normally performed on an as-required-basis and outside of the formal OSMC programs.
