Implementation Process. (a) It is the intention of the parties that the decision to introduce flexible working hours and the nature of this arrangement should be a voluntary one on both sides. (b) The details of the agreed alternative working time arrangement must be recorded in writing and must be signed by the representatives of the affected parties. (c) Where consensus on the introduction of alternative working time arrangements cannot be reached between management and employees then the following procedure shall be implemented: Step 1: The matter shall be referred to the relevant Regional Council for conciliation. Two assessors, one from the employer side and one from the trade union side may, by mutual agreement, be appointed to assist the conciliator. The assessors shall be selected from outside the workplace. Step 2: Where Step 1 is unsuccessful in resolving the dispute, both parties or either party may refer the matter to arbitration in an attempt to settle the dispute. The costs of the conciliation and subsequent advisory arbitration process (where this is undertaken) shall be negotiated at establishment level. Two assessors, one chosen by the trade unions and one by the employers, will be appointed to assist the arbitrator. The assessors shall be selected from outside the workplace. (substituted by Government Notice R.1051 of 26 October 2001) Should Step 2 not be successful, the arbitrator will then decide the matter in terms of advisory arbitration.
