      Hi Glenn, require further information on the following, please:

      An employee in May 2019 signed a “3 year pay increment” document as follows:
      May 1, 2019 $19 increasing to
      May 1, 2020 $21; another increase
      May 1, 2021 $23
      September 2019 she went on MAT leave
      She is expected to return back to work and has requested to get paid at $21.
      Is the employee entitled to the increase even though she has not performed?
      Also, will she be entitled to the May 1, 2021 $23 increase coming up as well – again in this short period of time?
      Thank you,
      Mirella Bennati

        I don’t know if this was worth waiting for, but here’s Alan’s response. I’m so sorry we kept you so long and I promise to be much more prompt in the future. Also feel free to contact me glennd@bongarde.com,  if you want to follow up or get more info. Thanks and sorry. Glenn

        So the answer is another question.
        Were the pay increments conditional on active service or just on “employment”.
        If the later, then yes, the agreed upon hourly rates are binding on the employer.
