Hours Bank Clause Samples
Hours Bank. An “Hours Bank” of on-duty time shall be credited to each member to use for clinical hours only. Each member shall be allotted fifteen (15) hours per month for the last five (5) months prior to completion of paramedic school (75 hours total). The Hours Bank may be used to complete scheduled Hospital Clinical Time. The allotted monthly hours cannot be carried over into the following month – the member must use the hours in that month or lose them. However, when the Hours Bank is gone, the member must schedule the rest of their clinical time off-duty. Additional on-duty hours may be scheduled if staffing permits.
Hours Bank. Due to staffing requirements within the CFD and the need to schedule clinical time in advance, all clinical time will be conducted off duty. Hours spent in clinical time may lengthen if the student has not completed minimal skills requirements. Members will be compensated for this off duty time at the rate of 1-hour compensatory time for every 2 hours of clinical time, not to exceed 55 hours of compensatory time.
Hours Bank. The Parties agree to adhere to their respective obligations with respect to the banking of hours to facilitate the operations of the Inclement Weather Policy (see Inclement Weather Policy).
Hours Bank. The hour's bank will be kept by the employer and will contain the details of hours that have been worked as overtime for which payment has not been claimed because the employee has elected to bank the time worked and to make an arrangement to have time off in lieu. Provided further that by mutual arrangement between the employee and the employer, rostered days off may be "banked" to enable the employee to accumulate a greater number of consecutive rostered days off during each work cycle in order to maximise quality leisure time. Such accumulated days rostered off shall be taken no later than 6 months after the first rostered day was due, or paid out on termination or as otherwise mutually agreed.
Hours Bank. The Association shall form an Hour Bank which will allow employees to donate personal leave to be used by members of the Association at the discretion of the Association. The Bank shall be established by an automatic transfer each July 1st of one and one half (1.5) hours of personal leave from each employee. If an employee does not have one and one half (1.5) hours of personal leave as of July 1st, the one and one half (1.5) hours shall be transferred when the employee has accrued them. The Bank shall be used as approved by the Association. The President of the Association may cancel the automatic leave deductions for any year in which sufficient leave is available for the purposes of the Bank. The Borough agrees that every reasonable effort will be made to release Association Representatives from their work assignments with proper advance notice and approval from the first-line non-represented supervisor. However, both parties realize that there may be instances in which committee members cannot participate in negotiation preparation and/or meetings due to pressing work requirements. Each July 1st, the Borough shall donate one hundred (100) hours to the Hour Bank. These hours shall only be used to prepare for and conduct contract negotiations. If the President of the Association cancels the automatic leave deductions for any year, the Borough may also cancel its donation. The Association shall provide written advance notice to the Borough of any changes to the designated representatives. In the event the number of Borough departments increases, the Association may add an additional employee representative for each new department.

Hours Bank. The worker may opt, as an alternative to being paid as overtime for the hours worked, to deposit them into the hours bank. Workers who can simultaneously be absent from the production unit to take advantage of compensatory rest must not exceed 10% of the workforce (5% for Saturdays or the day of greatest work intensity). For production units with fewer than 30 employees, the right will be enjoyed individually and on a rotation basis among all staff. Compensatory rest will normally be enjoyed in groups of 4 or 8 hours, with 5 days' written notice. The months of July, August and December are excluded from use. In the event of failure to request the use of compensatory rest for the hours deposited in the hours bank, the employer may, by 31 December of each year, identify the period within which the worker must in any case proceed to the use of the hours accrued and remaining relating to the previous year, within a maximum period of 52 weeks. If such recoveries have not been arranged or are only partial, the employer is required to pay the worker the unused hours with the increase provided for overtime, net of the amount already paid. On a voluntary basis, workers may give, free of charge, a portion of the hours set aside to their colleagues who are in the position of caring for minor children who, due to their particular health conditions, require constant care.
