Absence Coverage. During the Winter Control Season "day shift spares" may be assigned to replace absent night shift employees (vacation, illness, leave etc.) during week days.
Absence Coverage. As of January 1, 2014, the Corporation agrees to assume responsibility for replacement of absences recognized under the collective agreement for route holders in postal installations with six (6) or more RSMC routes. Until such time, all current practices related to the responsibility of absence coverage will remain in effect. APPENDIX “I”
Absence Coverage. Operators will from time to time be absent due to sick leave or vacation. During absences due to sick leave, it is sometimes the case that little advance notice is available. Response to cover affected shifts, when required, shall use the following principles: • Absence coverage, when required, will first attempt to use Operators on a like schedule. Like schedule shall be defined as days or nights. For the purpose of this definition a shift shall end on the last day the employee works the assigned shift hours. The employee’s new shift shall start on the first day off before their new shift starts. • Available Operators will be those currently working a like schedule (day or night). A current day shift Operator or the Water Treatment Plant Supervisor may be considered for night shift coverage if the Off-Duty Night Shift Operator is unavailable. • Shift extensions may be required in cases where relief operators cannot be reached, or extraordinary work requirements exist. A shift of 18-hours will be the operational maximum, short of a significant emergency.
Absence Coverage. 1. Coverage for absences of up to five (5) consecutive days will be offered by seniority rotation to employees within the same classification in the building where the absence occurred. If all such employees refuse the coverage, the supervisor may fill the absence with a substitute employee.
