October 24, 2011 -as a result of the last renewal of the Ft. McMurray General Presidents Maintenance Agtreement in 2008, Ft. McMurray Clients participated in a process to enhance the retention, recruitment and relocation of maintenance workers employed under the General Presidents' Maintenance Agreement and the National Maintenance Agreement in the Ft. McMurray Area. Certain clients established various Protocols to this effect. These protocols went into effect on various sites in the summer of 2008. Due to economic issues facing client firms in 2008 and 2009, a number of the policies were revisited and removed.
Currently, Nexen is operating the Ft. McMurray Location Allowance (FMLA) and the Moving and Relocation Allowance Policy. Suncor main plant is operating a modified FMLA through TAMSIL, its main maintenance contractor.
In addition to the above, major clients who are part of the ACTIMS group are operating a travel and accommodation protocol for selected major shutdown activity. These Protocols can be accessed from the ACTIMS website www.actims.ca .
