Clarington Fire pay grid

The Association represents 73 full-time (career) members of the Clarington Fire Department (Platoon Chiefs, Captains, and Firefighters); the department also operates composite/volunteer stations, but the wage award applies to this Association's full-time suppression bargaining unit. The award's 'Wages' list is not explicitly labelled by rank, but is the base rate against which the award's separate Platoon Chief (132%) and Captain (119%) differentials are expressed, indicating it is the 1st Class Firefighter (100%) rate.

This agreement has expired, so nothing here has changed yet. Under the Labour Relations Act the terms of an expired agreement keep applying while a new one is bargained, and police and firefighters cannot strike, so their rounds go to binding interest arbitration instead. The rates above are still what lands on the stub today. When the award comes it is normally backdated to the day after expiry, which means a lump sum of retroactive pay and a higher base from then on. Both matter on a mortgage file, and they are counted differently.

What a lender does with this

Base pay off the grid is the easy part. On a frontline file the rest of the T4 is where approvals are won or lost.
