When your supervisor or another Employer representative notifies you of the need for a meeting, they must:
- suggest a time and a place for the meeting, which must be mutually agreeable to both you and the Employer;
- remind you of your right to have a Workplace Representative accompany you—the decision on whether to do this is yours to make; and
- give you up to three working days to find a Workplace Representative to help you.
OPS Members can use the template below to send your supervisor or Employer representative an email informing that you will be using your Article 7.2 rights to postpone the meeting by three working days to find a Workplace Representative to help you.
