Flexibility in Scheduling Sample Clauses

Flexibility in Scheduling. Flexibility in scheduling is to the mutual benefit of UMMS and employees. The Union and UMMS will support employees and supervisors in working out flexible arrangements. Such arrangements must be practical, meet the operational and business needs of the departments, and work for the employee and co-workers. When departmental needs make a schedule change necessary, the supervisor should provide as much advance notice as possible. Examples of flexible schedules include but are not limited to: shifting schedules to start and end earlier, or later; combining breaks; occasionally extending breaks or making up time; compressing the work week into fewer, longer days; and job sharing. When an employee and supervisor cannot mutually agree on a schedule, they may request help through the problem solving process up to and including the third step. UMMS has a good track record in work security. In the past, management has taken a problem-solving approach to the task of keeping members of our workplace community employed. This Agreement is designed to continue in that problem-solving vein, now involving the union and its members. In addition, this Agreement recognizes that the Medical School must grow in order to flourish. To that end, we know that growth brings change, and that change can represent opportunity as opposed to a threat when it takes place within a work environment where there is a commitment to the security of workers. In this Agreement, our goal is to find alternatives to layoffs whenever possible and, when a layoff must occur, to provide help and support to the employee with finding a comparable position if one is available. The employer has placed employees facing layoff in other available positions whenever possible in the past and will continue this effort. Also, the employer is committed to sharing information early in the process so the union can propose alternatives to layoffs.

  • Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.

  • Holiday Scheduling Work assignments for holidays shall be prepared in advance of the holiday and when work is available, employees shall be given an opportunity to request to either work or be off. Such requests shall be granted to the extent possible in keeping with the operating needs of the work unit. When all requests cannot be granted within a classification and within a work unit, they shall be granted on a rotating basis so that each employee’s desires will be met as many times as is possible for each year, subject to Paragraph

  • Overtime Scheduling (A) It is the intent of the City, consistent with efficient and effective operation of the Division of Police, to distribute in an equitable manner, all pre-scheduled overtime among all members. Recognition will be given to the qualifications of the members and the requirements placed on the City by any third party funding sources. Any complaints by members that pre-scheduled overtime is not being equitably distributed among all qualified members as described above may be brought by the Lodge directly to the Chief's attention at Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure and shall also be a proper subject for discussion in a Labor Relations Committee meeting. Inability to work a prescheduled overtime assignment due to illness or death in the family or injury will not require the member to charge such absence against sick leave or injury leave.

  • Scheduling Vacations Vacations are to be scheduled in advance and taken at such reasonable times as approved by the employee's department with particular regard to the needs of the Employer, seniority of employee, and, insofar as practicable, with regard to the wishes of the employee.
