For hybrid schedules, there will also be shifts that provide for relief periods in accordance with Article 15.02. iv) Scheduling issues will be resolved at the local level. v) Where the union and the employer have agreed to or agree to an extended daily tour or hybrid schedule that differs from the normal daily extended tour, the proportion of unpaid time to hours of work shall maintain the same ratio as set out in paragraph ii) and iii) of this Article.
Ordinary Hours of Work The ordinary hours of work will be worked any time between 6.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. Ordinary hours of work may be varied by agreement between the Employer and the majority of the employees concerned and the ETU State Secretary (via the relevant full time ETU Official) to accommodate the hours or work required for the most efficient and safe operation of the Employer and the requirements of its client. Where agreement is reached to work alternate hours, occupational health and safety principles will prevail. Proper health monitoring procedures will be introduced and suitable rosters clearly agreed prior to commencing work. Adequate supervision must always be provided. Matters on which agreement may be reached include: a) How the hours are to be averaged in a work cycle b) The duration of the work cycle
HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME 6.1 It is understood and agreed that for some employees, there may be from time-to-time an irregular distribution of hours of work in a week necessitated by the nature of their work and VICE’s business operations. The regular work week will be understood as forty (40) hours of work per week exclusive of lunch periods. 6.2 If VICE requires that an employee’s regularly scheduled work hours be changed, it will provide the employee with forty-eight (48) hours’ notice of such change except when there are unforeseen or emergency circumstances. Employees who will be newly scheduled to work outside the hours of 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, Monday to Friday, will be provided with a schedule at least one week in advance of the change except in unforeseen circumstances. For clarity, employees who are regularly scheduled to work outside of these hours are exempt from this clause unless their schedule is changed. Employees will be given two (2) consecutive days off in the week. Where possible, these days will be Saturday and Sunday. 6.3 If an employee is required to work on a day off, they will be paid at a rate of time-and-a-half their regular rate for a minimum of 4 (four) hours and no less than all of the hours worked on that day. It is understood that if there is not 4 (four) hours work available management can assign duties to complete the 4 (four) hour minimum. An employee may choose to take time off in lieu of pay. 6.4 If an employee is required to work more than forty (40) hours per week, the employee will receive time off in lieu of overtime payment at a rate of 1.5 times the excess number of hours worked beyond forty (40) hours. Hours worked include any time the employee is required to work remotely, including such hours worked before or after their regular work day. VICE will endeavour to limit the requirement for employees to work outside of their regular work day to exceptional circumstances. 6.5 For employees in the positions listed in Appendix B the hours worked will be calculated based on the average number of hours worked by the employee over a two week period. The parties agree that this is to reflect the fact that employees in these positions have regularly scheduled work hours that vary in number from time to time due to the nature of VICE’s business. 6.6 Lieu time earned under Article 6.2, Article 6.3 or Article
