Change to Shift Schedules Sample Clauses

Change to Shift Schedules. (a) In situations other than emergencies, scheduled employees are entitled to two (2) calendar days’ notice of any change in their respective shift schedules. This does not apply to an employee being required to work past the end of a scheduled shift, nor does it apply to an employee voluntarily reporting for work on a call-out. (b) An employee may, with the consent of the Employer and having provided forty-eight (48) hours notice, change shifts with an employee within the same classification who has equivalent skills. A request sheet signed by both employees must accompany the request. The change shall not be effective until signed by the department Manager or designate. The employee who takes the shift assumes all obligations as if the shift was being worked by the employee originally scheduled to work the shift. The Employer will not be responsible or liable for overtime rate claims that might arise or occur as a result of the exchange or giving away of shifts. (c) Employees who become aware that they are not going to be able to report for work as scheduled because of illness, injury or emergency, are obligated to provide the Employer with notice at the earliest possible time, with a minimum of one (1) hour, to allow the Employer sufficient time to arrange coverage for the absence. (d) It is the Employer’s responsibility to keep the work schedule up to date and to ensure that any changes are clearly noted and legible with the exception of shift switches and time off/vacation requests. It is the responsibility of every scheduled employee to check the posted work schedule for changes. (e) In the event that the Employer changes the next scheduled shift of an employee who is not at work because of a scheduled absence, the Employer will be responsible for notifying the employee of the change.
