Shift Exchanges In no event shall any overtime be payable as a result of employees voluntarily exchanging shifts.
Shift Exchange The Employer and the Union agree that shift exchanges are a useful process to allow employees more flexibility and improved work/life balance. Employees within an institution who have the same job classification will be allowed to exchange full shifts for positions in which they are qualified. The shift exchange process will not be used to circumvent the bid system or the supervisory chain of command. Shift exchanges will be in accordance with the following:
A. Request for shift exchanges will be submitted seven (7) calendar days in advance of the exchange, when practicable.
B. Requests for shift exchanges will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The requested shift exchange is voluntary, and is agreed to in writing by both employees, and approved in writing by the supervisor(s). Requests for shift exchanges will be submitted to the appropriate Appointing Authority or designee for approval.
X. Xxxxx exchanges may be denied. If denied, the employee will be provided the reason(s) in writing.
D. Employees will not submit requests for shift exchanges which would result in overtime. Each employee will be considered to have worked their regular schedule.
E. For shift exchanges that occur on an employee’s designated holiday, the employee who is regularly scheduled to work on that holiday will receive the holiday compensation, regardless of who physically worked on that day.
F. The failure of an employee who has exchanged shifts to work the agreed upon shift without appropriate cause may be a basis for disciplinary action.
