The parties may in addition agree on conditions of employment incidental to the reassignment of employees.

An agreement entered into under this section may not provide conditions of employment that entail higher costs than those entailed by the application of the conditions of employment applicable on 20 December 2000, or increase the staff.

The Minister may grant additional time at the request of the committee or of a certified association.

The provisions concerning the application of the reassignment process provided for in the applicable conditions of employment, or, where there is no such process, the provisions that allow employees to be assigned a position or a place of employment, constitute the employee reassignment procedure.

2000, c. 56, Sch. III, s. 118.

Any such agreement or any decision of the labour commissioner under sections 176.5 and 176.9 of that Act also binds the city.

2000, c. 56, Sch. III, s. 120.

121. The transition committee shall also prepare any plan for the reassignment of the officers and employees of the municipalities referred to in section 5 who are not represented by a certified association, as well as the procedure relating to the rights of and remedies available to an employee who believes he or she has been wronged as a consequence of the application of the reassignment plan.

A plan prepared under the first paragraph applies to the city as of 31 December 2001.

2000, c. 56, Sch. III, s. 121.

122. The transition committee shall appoint the director general, the clerk and the treasurer of the city for a term not to exceed five years.
