CHANGES IN WORKING SCHEDULES. It is recognized that variations in business or other conditions may necessitate changes in normal work periods, starting and quitting times, length of work day or work week, movement of jobs from one schedule to another.

Final weekly work schedules shall be posted no later than on the Friday prior to the effective date of the schedule. If employees’ schedules are changed subsequent to the above time, they will be given at least forty-eight (48) hours notice; in the that they do not receive (48) hours notice, they will be paid a premium (4) hours at their base rate of pay for the first period of continuous hours worked after such change of schedule.

FLEXIBLEPUNCHING OF TIME CARDS In any continuous shift operation, where the employees relieve on the jab, if incoming employees clock in prior to the start of shift and indicate that they are willing to take over the responsibility for the operation, the outgoing employees may clock out and leave without waiting to the end of the shift; employees will receive their regular shift wages. The maximum time frame is thirty (30) minutes. Participation in the program is subject to a request from a majority of the employees of the particular operation and Company approval. Relieving must take place on the job and there can be no misunderstanding as to whether or not the incoming employee agreed to take over or not; the scheduled employee is responsible until the end of the shift unless there is agreement.
