Extra Shifts and the Emergent Use of Mandation. The Employer may request that employees work extra shifts as necessary to meet operating requirements. In the event extra shifts are requested, the Administrator or the Administrator’s designee shall use the volunteer procedures below in the order in which they appear:
1. The Employer may fill extra shifts that become known to the Employer by posting a list of open shifts with space for Bargaining Unit Employees to sign up for those shifts. If more than one Bargaining Unit Employee signs up for the same shift, then that shift will be assigned to the competing Bargaining Unit Employee in rotating Seniority order.
2. If a Bargaining Unit Employee is at work and the extra shift is within the Employee’s classification, the Employee will be asked.
3. Bargaining Unit Employee volunteers will be asked beginning with the most senior qualified employee, including those that may not currently be at work, but are available and qualified to perform the work.
4. If the Bargaining Unit Employee works all regular scheduled shifts for the pay period, they will receive an “extra voluntary shift premium” of seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) added to their base rate of pay for all actual hours worked from one (1) hour up to eight (8) hours during the extra shift(s) for that pay period. If the Bargaining Unit Employee has an unexcused, unprotected absence during the pay period, the extra voluntary shift premium will be forfeit for that pay period. The extra shift premium will be paid on the following pay period.
5. Bargaining unit employees will not be required to work outside of their scheduled shift (i.e. Mandation) except in emergent circumstances. An example of emergent circumstances may include unplanned absences due to illness. Future shifts that lack sufficient staffing without unexpected absences would not be considered an emergent circumstance. The intent of this language is to prevent mandation from being used as a regular tool for filling shifts while protecting the Employer’s ability to ensure resident safety in emergency staffing situations. • In the event of a bona-fide emergency where a bargaining unit employee is mandated to work outside their scheduled shift, employees will receive an extra shift premium of five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) per hour added to their base rate of pay. • No bargaining unit employee shall be mandated to work more than 4 hours beyond their regular shift. • No bargaining unit employee shall be mandated more than once per nine...
