Common use of Modifications to the work schedules Clause in Contracts

Modifications to the work schedules. The hours of work may be modified if necessary after agreement between the parties. However, the University may modify the existing hours of work or impose new ones if service needs dictate such changes. In such a case, a written notice shall be posted and a copy sent to the Union, at least thirty (30) days prior to the implementation of the change. No change may be implemented if the University has not followed this procedure. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, such modifications must not result in split-shifts. In the event of a disagreement, the Union may refer the case directly to arbitration by following the procedure outlined in Article 8. The time delays provided for in this Article may be modified after agreement between the Parties. The mandate of the arbitrator consists of determining whether such changes were essential, the burden of proof of which rests with the University. If the arbitrator judges the changes are not essential, the University returns to the old schedule.
