Change in Work Schedules. Established work schedules will normally be changed only after a fourteen (14) calendar day written notice is given to employees. This time period can be waived by mutual agreement of the employee and supervisor. The City may reschedule shifts with less than the above required notice in any situation it deems to be an emergency. Changes in shifts will not be made for the sole purpose of avoiding overtime costs. It is recognized that shifts may occasionally be changed to accommodate operating needs which might also avoid overtime costs. Employee requests for a schedule change in order to mitigate the negative effects of working extensive overtime will normally be granted so long as the supervisor determines operating needs can be met and they do not create additional overtime liability for the City.
