Changes to an Employee’s Shift Cycle. (a) Where an employee is required to attend a training program inside of his or her headquarters area, NAV CANADA may amend the shift cycle applicable to an employee for the purpose of providing training to employees, provided that;
(i) such amendments shall not be made without at least fifteen (15) calendar days' notice to the employee affected and,
(ii) in any vacation year as defined in 27.06(a) not more than five (5) of each employee's days of rest may be converted to working days, and,
(iii) each day of rest converted to a working day in accordance with paragraph (ii) above shall be rescheduled as a day of rest to be contiguous to a period of days of rest. This reimbursement must be completed within sixty (60) days of the date the converted day of rest would have occurred had the shift cycle not been amended, and,
(iv) the employee shall be compensated for converted days of rest not scheduled in accordance with this Article or not rescheduled in accordance with paragraph (iii) at the overtime rate.
(b) Where an employee is required to attend a training program outside of his or her headquarters area, for a period of less than thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, NAV CANADA may amend the shift cycle applicable to the employee for the duration of the training period. No overtime shall be payable for such a change in shift cycle, except that overtime compensation shall be payable for all hours worked in excess of those stipulated under clause 16.01 as a result of the change. The days of rest converted to working days under this clause shall be in addition to the five (5) days specified in clause 16.03(a)(ii). For the purpose of this clause, meal and relief breaks are exclusive of the hours stipulated in Clause 16.01.
(c) In order to balance the schedule, NAV CANADA may amend an employee's shift cycle where the requirement for amendment will be consistent for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days or more, and notice of the change is provided to the employee at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the change. No overtime compensation shall be payable for such a change in shift cycle, except that overtime compensation shall be payable for all hours worked in excess of those stipulated under clause 16.01 as a result of the change.
