One of the critical articles in collective agreements deals with management rights. The employer retains all rights not curbed, abridged, or otherwise limited by a collective agreement.  In other words, if the collective agreement doesn't specifically provide the right, the benefit, or entitlement, it remains the employer's right to confer it and make policies about it. It is not subject to the grievance procedure. Management rights allow employers to establish standards of performance and operation. However, they are often subject to dispute.
