Article 32 : hiring of university students

32.1 Contracts issued in a spirit of training and support for University of Ottawa students who are registered in the University's Co-operative Education Programs (co-op students), Work-Study Program (WSP) or hire on contract will not reduce the regular hours worked by employees or prevent recalls of employees laid off from the sector in question because of such a contract.

32.2 The University will, within 30 calendar days of the beginning of each academic session, provide in writing to the President of the Bargaining Unit:

  • The number of students for each work unit in each faculty or service;
  • The number of hours per student per week and per session for each unit within each faculty or department ;
  • The type of student workers by faculty or service (WSP, CO-OP, contract).

32.3 The work performed by students comprises duties that are not traditionally done by an employee. This work would not result in preventing the creation of new positions in the Bargaining Unit or the posting of a temporary assignment.
