Common use of LEAVE FOR VACATION Clause in Contracts

LEAVE FOR VACATION. A Regular Part-Time Employee and Auxiliary Employee may, upon request, be granted leave of absence without pay for vacation purposes, with scheduling subject to operational requirements. Principles Governing the Conversion of Employee Benefits in Cases of Introduction or Renewal of Alternate Shift Schedules The parties acknowledge that as E-Comm is a 24/7 operation, a number of shift schedules exist other than the standard Monday to Friday, 5 days on 2 days off schedule. These shift schedules may utilize differing average bi-weekly hours of work. The following principles apply when determining how to convert benefits for these shift schedules as well as any others that may be created. 1. Basic annual working hours shall be calculated as 260.89 x daily working hours as per the 5-day week; e.g. 260.89 x 7.7 = 2009, or 260.89 x 8 = 2087 2. Basic annual public holiday hours shall be calculated as 11 x daily working hours as per a 5-day week; e.g. 11 x 7.7 = 84.7, or 11 x 8 = 88. 3. For the purposes of Overtime pay on scheduled working days, regular daily working hours and the regular work week shall be considered to be those lengths of time established by the parties pursuant to paragraph 6 herein. 4. Annual Vacation entitlement and all credits for Deferred Vacation, Supplementary Vacation and Sick Leave benefits shall be converted from days to hours by multiplying the number of days to an employee's credit by the daily working hours that would exist on a 5-day week schedule. (This conversion has been done within the Collective Agreement for shift schedules currently in existence.) All deductions or debits shall be made on the basis that each working day of absence shall be measured as the length of time established by the parties pursuant to paragraph 6 herein. 5. Notwithstanding any Clause in a Collective Agreement to the contrary, an employee shall not receive pay for acting senior capacity where the employee has been temporarily required to accept the responsibilities and carry out the duties of a senior position because of the absence of the incumbent of that senior position due to the alternate work week. 6. In order to establish the length of the alternate work day and the alternate work week, the parties are to be governed by the principle that the basic annual working hours less basic annual public holiday hours are to remain the same under the alternate work week as they were under the standard 5-day work week. For those employees who work an alternate shift schedule that involves longer daily hours but less days in the week, and they are not required to work public holidays, they may have public holidays off with pay, but will owe the Employer the difference in hours between the length of their work day and the length of the standard day on a 5-day week schedule. For example, an employee who works 4-10 hour shifts with 3 days off and is not required to work public holidays, will receive 8 hours off for the public holiday. Should they wish to “top up” the remaining two hours to ensure their pay cheque reflects a full 80 hours in the pay period, they will need to take those 2 hours from another bank such as OTL or vacation. 7. Whenever any doubt arises as to how the benefit conversion should be made with respect to any item (whether or not covered by this Appendix "C"), the doubt shall be resolved by reference to the basic principle agreed upon by all parties to this Agreement, i.e., there shall be no additional salary or benefit cost to the Employer, and no reduction in the salaries or benefits received by the employees. The parties agree that the following principles are implicit in and form part of the terms of the Collective Agreement: (1) That, except where a provision in the Agreement or a currently accepted practice speci- fically contemplates otherwise, (for example, the Overtime, Callout and non-standard work week provisions) employees shall have not less than eight (8) consecutive hours free from work between each shift worked and not less than thirty-two (32) consecutive hours free from work between each week. Where an employee is required to work within the eight (8) or thirty-two (32) hour free period, the time worked during the work free period shall be subject to the appropriate overtime provisions. (2) That where an employee works a split shift, the shift shall be completed within twelve
