11 AVERAGE RATE: The rate of pay the nearest to the average of the lowest and highest rate of pay a permanent full-time employees could earn at the termination of the previous agreement. BASE RATE: Is the straight-time rate of pay per hour, excluding premiums, incentive bonuses, etc. This is not necessarily the lowest rate nor the highest rate but usually an established benchmark rate by the parties for purposes of negotiations. LOWEST RATE: Lowest rate of pay a permanent full-time employee could earn at the termination of the previous agreement. WEIGHTED AVERAGE: This arithmetic means, dependent on the composition of the work force, is established prior to negotiations and is generated by calculating the actual total wage cost for all employees covered by the settlement and dividing said cost by the number of employees.

13 C.P.I.: Consumer Price Index COST OF LIVING ESCALATOR OR COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCE (COLA): A cost of living escalator or COLA is a clause in a collective agreement which adjusts wage (or salary) rates reflecting changes in the specified price index. All have a formula which converts changes in a CPI into wage changes. It is designed to off-set erosion of real wage levels by inflation. CAP OR MAXIMUM: A capped formula makes adjustments to hourly rates according to CPI changes but provides a maximum for each contract year or the cap may limit escalation over the contract term as a whole; e.g. capped at $0.05 per quarter and capped at $0.15 per year. GUARANTEED: Some cost of living clauses guarantee that a certain increase will be granted by a certain date. If the CPI movement has not generated the guaranteed increase under the formula then that increase automatically comes into effect on the specified date. TRIGGERED FORMULA: A triggered formula does not operate until (usually percentage) change in the CPI brings the formula into operation. For example in a two-year collective agreement a triggered formula might grant $0,01 for each 0,5 change in the CPI after the index has risen a full 10,0 %. Often the formula must be re-triggered in each contract year. For example, the formula operated after a 10,0 % increase in the CPI has occurred in any contract year.
