corporation purposely failed to schedule her on a
shift to maintain continuous employment status,
but poor communication from the worker meant
Canada Post thought she was on vacation.
Leah Visser was hired by Canada Post Corpora-
tion (CPC) in October 2015 to work in the White-
court, Alta. post office. In April 2016, she became
a term employee — appointed on an annual basis
to cover for absences, holidays and heavy work-
loads.
Under the collective agreement, term employ-
ees received "applicable benefits" under the Can-
ada Labour Code if they had continuous, uninter-
rupted employment of at least six months. The
collective agreement also gave term employees
with continuous employment a right of recall if
another term assignment became available within
90 days of their last day of employment with CPC.
