Alternate Scheduling Method Clause Samples
Alternate Scheduling Method. For discrete scheduling units who have not developed a PTO scheduling process as set forth above in paragraph N, Employees will utilize the following scheduling process: Employees will be eligible to pre-schedule PTO for a twelve-month period beginning on May 1 and ending on April 30 of each year. Requests for such leave will be submitted between February 1st and February 15th and shall be granted in order of seniority for Employees within each scheduling department as follows:
1. Round 1: Each Employee will initially sign up for a maximum of two (2) weeks of PTO in seniority order. At the Employee’s option, the two (2) weeks need not be consecutive, but will not be taken in less than two (2) seven-day blocks.
Alternate Scheduling Method. If dynamic scheduling is not available, a unit Start up/Shutdown will be accomplished using one of the following options at LADWP’s discretion:
a) If LADWP is receiving an output value from generator(s), LADWP will calculate a clock 15-minute average of the generator(s) output and an integrated hourly MWH.
i. Each clock 15-minute average will be subtracted from the corresponding Period Deviation. This adjusted Period Deviation shall be deemed to be the value for billing under Schedule 4.
ii. The calculated integrated MWH value will be used to adjust the Start up/Shutdown e-Tag unless the generator operator provides an appropriate value.
b) If LADWP is not receiving an output value from generator(s), the calculated Schedule 4 Period Deviation will be exempted from Schedule 4 billing. The generator operator must be able to provide an integrated MWH value for each hour. Said value will be used to adjust the Start-up/Shutdown e-Tag. Parties will make reasonable efforts to (re)establish systems and communications necessary to implement the dynamic schedule to LADWP prior to commencing a Start-up or Shutdown. However, lack of dynamic scheduling capability shall not be sufficient reason for LADWP to deny a Start-up or Shutdown.
