Longevity pay is addressed in which article?

• A. Article 32
• B. Article 30
• C. Article 33
• D. Article 31

Answer: (D)

Longevity pay is a recurring wage supplement based on years of service. In this contract, the rules governing how longevity pay is earned, how much is paid, and when it’s paid are stated in the article specifically dedicated to longevity pay. That article defines eligibility, the schedule of increases at each service milestone, and any conditions or exclusions. Other articles address different pay components and benefits, but they do not establish the longevity pay rules. So the article that covers longevity pay is the one identified for that purpose—Article 31.
