The intent in grouping jobs into classification families (Families) includes promotion of employee growth and job satisfaction. Classification titles have been modernized to be more relevant to the market/industry. To the extent possible, related jobs have been grouped together in an effort to provide employees greater choice in pursuing career path opportunities. However, family groupings do not limit career path opportunities; employees may bid jobs in any Family. Employees will not be required to perform the work of other classifications within their Family, nor will they be required to perform the work of a specialty within their classification, except in accordance with [Section 6.8], Work Out of Classification. For example, an employee in the Payroll specialty will not be assigned to perform the work of the Collections specialty; and employees in the I&R specialty will not be required to perform the work in the Splicing specialty. Time spent working in a higher classification will be paid at the rate of the higher classification, except for bona fide training situations pursuant to [Section 6.8]. Employees interested in expanding their skills so they can perform in other classifications will be encouraged to do so.

The Union and the Company shall establish a Classification Committee consisting of one management representative and one Union representative appointed by the Chief Steward.

The grouping of jobs into classification families does not change any specific classification or specialty within a classification. Any proposed changes will be subject to the Classification Committee process in accordance with Section 5.7.

If the Classification Committee does not agree on the new job classification or the proposed changes the Company may implement its proposed changes, but the change(s) will be subject to the grievance process outlined in Section 4.3, starting at Step II.
