Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring union representation to a meeting?
Yes. Members are entitled to union representation in meetings that may lead to discipline or impact working conditions. Contact your workplace Steward.
Who do I contact for workplace issues?
Start with your workplace Steward. If unavailable, contact the Local President.
What should I do if I’m being disciplined?
Contact your workplace Steward as soon as possible before attending meetings with management. Keep any letters or emails you receive.
Do I qualify for an accommodation?
Employees are entitled to accommodation under the Ontario Human Rights Code. This includes disability-related accommodations and other protected grounds, to the point of undue hardship.
How does sick leave work?
Sick leave provides income protection when a member is unable to work due to personal illness, injury, or medical-related appointments. Eligible members may use accumulated sick credits to maintain pay during approved absences, subject to entitlement and workplace reporting requirements. The employer may request reasonable medical documentation to support absences, particularly for extended or repeated sick leave. If sick credits are exhausted, members may be eligible for other income protection or leave provisions depending on their circumstances.
What is the grievance process?
A grievance is a formal process used to resolve workplace disputes or Collective Agreement violations.
What should I do if I experience harassment or discrimination in the workplace?
OPS employees are entitled to a safe and respectful workplace. If you experience harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behaviour, document the incidents and contact your workplace Steward or Local Executive for guidance and support. You can also review the OPS Respectful Workplace Policy for additional information and reporting options.
Can I apply for hardship assistance?
Yes. OPSEU/SEFPO offers a Regional Hardship Fund that provides emergency financial assistance to members in good standing who are experiencing significant financial hardship. Applications are reviewed confidentially based on established eligibility criteria and available funding. Click here for more information. You’re also welcome to reach out to Local 4110 for assistance – contact here.
What happens if there is a concern about workplace conduct or professionalism?
All OPS employees are expected to follow workplace policies, including the OPS Code of Conduct and Respectful Workplace Policy. If concerns arise involving workplace behaviour, members may seek union representation and support to better understand their rights, responsibilities, and available processes under the Collective Agreement and OPS policies.
