Common use of Individual Options Clause in Contracts

Individual Options. (a) There shall be an AWS Facilitator, who shall be knowledgeable in flexible schedule issues. The Facilitator shall be available to resolve such matters as are set forth hereafter. The State and the Union shall share equally the Facilitator’s expenses. (b) An employee who can demonstrate a need for a non- AWS option, schedule modification based upon childcare responsibilities, eldercare, family or personal medical condition or treatment, or other care obligations, educational programs, carpooling or mass transportation considerations, shall be accommodated whenever possible. The AWS Facilitator shall have binding authority to resolve these disputes. Such request shall be reviewed quarterly. (c) An employee shall qualify for said accommodation unless the Agency can establish that the employee has demonstrated a pattern of a lack of dependability during the preceding twelve (12) months. Said pattern must have been documented in writing, and the employee must have been provided with an opportunity to acknowledge receipt of said documentation. Management shall give due consideration as to whether the grant of said schedule might logically cure the dependability problem. (d) The Appointing Authority may revoke a preferred schedule if an employee has been found to have misconducted him/herself in any manner with respect to the schedule. The removal of said schedule shall be stayed until the matter can be reviewed initially by the AWS Facilitator, who may issue an interim order regarding the schedule. Said order shall be limited to the issue of whether the stay should continue pending submission of the threshold issue to the [disciplinary] arbitrator [Grievance Panel].
