Employee Temporary Work Schedule Changes Sample Clauses

Employee Temporary Work Schedule Changes i. When the Company chooses to temporarily change employee’s work schedules, they must first seek volunteers. Senior qualified employees will be given preference. If there are not enough senior qualified employees to fill the positions, inverse seniority will be used to fill these positions providing the junior employees are qualified for the job. ii. Temporary schedule changes will be limited to twenty-one (21) days in duration. iii. If the Company provides less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of a change of shift, as a penalty the employee will be paid the first shift worked at the overtime wage rate. iv. For temporary schedule changes for five (5) days or less, no penalty shall be incurred by the Company when the employee is returned to the shift he/she worked prior to the temporary change. v. If the Company temporarily changes an employee's shift for more than five (5) days and less than twenty- one (21) days, as a penalty the employee will be paid the first shift worked and the first shift returned at the overtime wage rate. vi. In addition, all hours worked in excess of the hours of the old work schedule or on a day of rest of the old schedule, will be considered voluntary. Employees agreeing to work this voluntary overtime must advise the company prior to the start of their new schedule of their intention to work the overtime or they will not be considered to be working that day. vii. All temporary schedule changes will be provided in writing (email, letter, bulletin etc). viii. The exception to this temporary change is in the Powerhouse. The Company will ask Powerhouse Operators on days off to come in on overtime to cover any shortages on night shifts. If those on days off are unavailable or refuse this voluntary overtime, the company may reassign the dayshift operator to cover the nights. This reassigned employee will receive overtime pay as a penalty for all house worked for this coverage until they return to their regular dayshift. Since this is a temporary shift reassignment, the employee cannot refuse.
