Floater Positions Clause Samples
The "Floater Positions" clause defines the terms and conditions under which certain roles or positions within an organization or project are designated as "floaters," meaning they are not assigned to a fixed location, team, or schedule. Typically, this clause outlines how floater positions are filled, the flexibility required of employees in these roles, and the scope of their responsibilities, such as covering for absent staff or adapting to changing operational needs. By establishing clear guidelines for floater positions, the clause ensures operational flexibility and helps address staffing gaps or fluctuating workloads efficiently.
Floater Positions. (a) The Employer may assign one or more Floaters to a Platoon, as reviewed at the September meeting between the Management Team and the Union referred to in Article 10.3(f) of this Agreement. If there are less than four (4) Firefighters (or less than a full multiple of four (4)) assigned as Floaters by the Employer for a calendar year, the Floaters (or less than a full multiple of four (4)) will be scheduled to change Platoon assignments every payroll cycle.
(b) Floaters assigned to a Platoon will be used primarily for the following purposes:
(i) to cover Banked Time leave requests from other Employees on the Platoon;
(ii) to fill in for an unanticipated vacancy of another Employee on the Platoon; and
(iii) to be available to move to another Platoon to fill an unanticipated vacancy as per paragraph (c) below.
(c) The Employer may re-assign a Floater to another Platoon at any time to cover an unanticipated vacancy in that other Platoon which the Employer reasonably expects will be for a period of two (2) or more tours of duty. The Employer will advise the Union of the basis for its reasonable expectation. The Floater shall return to the Platoon to which they were initially assigned under paragraph (a) above following the completion of the coverage of the unanticipated vacancy on another Platoon.
(d) Within the rules which may be determined by the Union pursuant to 10.3(e) of this Agreement, the Floaters will select their Annual and Statutory leave prior to all other Suppression members. The Floater shall not book more than one block of Annual or Statutory leave per payroll cycle.
(e) If a Floaters Platoon assignment is changed pursuant to paragraph (c) above, any affected Annual or Statutory leave they had scheduled under paragraph (d) above will be re-booked as close as possible to the dates originally selected on the Platoon they are moving to, taking into account any special circumstances.
Floater Positions. Management may establish promotional floater positions or detail existing janitorial staff to fill promotional vacancies. If there is a staffing need as determined by management, a member of the floater pool or the existing Janitorial staff, preferably the next highest promotional employee shall be detailed into the vacant position until filled through the bidding process, or replaced by a candidate from the promotional list. Employees on the promotional list will be eligible to be considered for a floater position under the following conditions: A minimum of a one year commitment as a floater or until promoted from the promotional list. Shall have and maintain a valid “Special” license.

Employees that elect to be on the floater list will be selected according to their promotional list ranking.
Floater Positions. These four (4) positions are contracted at a minimum of five (5) hours per day. The Floaters are notified the day the position becomes available as to the location that needs to be filled.

These positions will be staffed during a bid process or personnel shall be assigned using reverse seniority should there be a lack of participation. Floaters will be paid the applicable rate to the assigned shift. The Employer reserves the right to create additional “floater” positions, slots, or schedules as the Employer may deem necessary to meet operational needs. If assigned to a unit, the floater shall be released at the end of the shift for the unit assigned. Employees who are normally scheduled as Floaters shall be issued Company pagers 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
