Going forward, there will be no new hires in the PAD category and rather will be assigned to a Production Automation Technician (PAT) role. Employees who are in other categories who perform the duties of a PAD from time-to-time, such as during vacation periods or staff illnesses, will remain in their existing category and remain eligible for upgrading when such duties are performed. Notwithstanding the above, the Company agrees to maintain all active PADs in the wage group 10.
