Dispute resolution & help

As a member of AMAPCEO, you have access to a broad range of resources and assistance regarding all aspects of your working conditions. We provide you with the information, process and people to settle your issues, complaints and formal disputes as quickly as possible. Your Collective Agreement is your starting point, as you determine what your rights are in the workplace.

From there, we invite you to explore the options below for resolving workplace issues.

Dispute Resolution Process

Learn about the process of filing a dispute against management for a breach of your rights under your Collective Agreement, the employer's policy, or the law.

AMAPCEO's dispute resolution processes have been designed to encourage informal resolutions of complaints, both before the complaint is formally disputed and during the formal dispute resolution process itself. Different bargaining units have different resolution processes, each with with distinct stages. 

Learn more about your bargaining unit's dispute resolution process here:

College of Midwives of Ontario
FSRA: Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario
Invest Ontario
OAC: Ontario Arts Council
OHQ: Ontario Health - Quality Unit
Ombudsman: Office of the Ontario Ombudsman
OPS: Ontario Public Service
PHO: Public Health Ontario
Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care

Employee Relations Committee

Each of AMAPCEO's bargaining units and each ministry in the OPS bargaining unit has an Employee Relations Committee (known in the as an AMAPCEO-Ministry Employee Relations Committee, or AMERC, in the OPS). The AMERC or ERC consists of an equal number of AMAPCEO and employer representatives who meet on a regular basis to discuss, review and try to resolve broader policy issues or concerns that transcend individual disputes. The general role and responsibilities of each AMERC/ERC are documented in each collective agreement.

AMAPCEO’s ERC Representatives must first be trained as Workplace Representatives and are appointed to an ERC by the AMAPCEO Board of Directors. They are entitled to paid leave to conduct their responsibilities and attend meetings with the employer. Please note that the current ERC Representative Appointment Policy is under review and a revised version should be available shortly. If you have questions about your ERC, please contact one of your ministry or bargaining unit Workplace Representatives.

We would like to acknowledge Tkaronto, a Mohawk word meaning “the place in the water where the trees are standing.”

The AMAPCEO office is on the traditional unceded territory of Haudenosaunee speaking nations, including the Wendat, Seneca and Mohawk. These nations have been here since time immemorial and were in more recent times joined by the Mississaugas of the Credit.
