ALTERNATIVE WORK WEEK SCHEDULES. 14 At the request of the employee, alternative workweek schedules are available (i.e., four (4) ten (10) hour 15 days, the 9/80 schedule which is eight (8) nine (9) hour days and one (1) eight (8) hour day with every 16 other Friday or Monday off) and other variations with prior approval from the immediate 17 supervisor/manager and Human Resources.
ALTERNATIVE WORK WEEK SCHEDULES. 28.01 The parties hereby agree that alternative work week schedules will be examined during the term of this agreement on an individual, department by department or site by site basis where either the Company or the Union requests such an examination.
28.02 If both the Company and the Union agree, a committee will be set up to examine alternative work schedules. If neither the Company nor the Union agrees, the application for an alternative workweek will not proceed. The committee shall consist of equal Union and management representatives and will meet on Company time, with no loss in wages.
28.03 The proposal will only be put to the members for a vote if both parties so agree. (This vote shall not apply to alternative workweek schedules implemented on an individual basis.)
28.04 If supported by the majority of members in a department or work site, the alternative work week schedule will be implemented for a three-month trial basis.
28.05 After that trial basis the agreement can be terminated or modified with the agreement of the Union (which may require a further vote in the department) or extended for a period of time agreed to by the parties.
28.06 Unless specifically altered by mutual consent all benefits (including vacations, statutory holidays, health and welfare etc.) will continue based on the work week/day in place prior to an agreed alternative schedule.
ALTERNATIVE WORK WEEK SCHEDULES. Lawful alternative work schedules may be established for any unit member by mutual agreement. After initial establishment, either OSA or the unit member may terminate any such alternative work schedule with two (2) weeks’ written notice.
ALTERNATIVE WORK WEEK SCHEDULES i. In the event of a requested change to a competitive shift schedule, the established work week schedule may be changed by mutual agreement between the Business Manager and the Employer. On mutual agreement, notice shall be given to each Employee by the Employer no later than quitting time on the last regular work day of the preceding week and the change shall take place at starting time on the first work day of the following week. The Union will not unreasonably deny shift schedule change requests.
ii. As per Article 8:02 (a) below, when double time (2X) would otherwise apply on a Saturday or Sunday, an Employee who works on a Saturday or Sunday and who has not worked all of the available scheduled, straight time hours for the previous Monday through Friday, unless Appendix F applies, shall be paid at the regular rate of pay for the same number of available scheduled hours not previously worked and double time (2x) the regular rate of pay for remaining hours.
iii. The following are competitive schedules that the Employer may utilize: (list is not exhaustive) Eleven Days On; Three Off Ten Days On; Four Off Fourteen Days On; Seven Off
iv. Scheduled Days Off
ALTERNATIVE WORK WEEK SCHEDULES. Whereas Article 4.2 of the current Collective Agreement sets out conditions and guidelines for the implementation and use of Alternative Work Week Schedules (AWWS), it is agreed between the parties that should a need be shown to add more AWWS to groups or departments not presently scheduled under this article, the parties agree to meet and endeavor to minimize the impact to employees.
