Principles for Scheduling. Preference of hours of work and days off work by seniority. As much as possible days of work and days off should be consecutive. Fair and Equitable distribution of hours in order of seniority. Consistency. Length of shifts (Airport Specific). The Employer will make reasonable efforts to minimize split shifts but the parties recognize that operational requirements including flight schedules may cause the Employer to schedule split shifts. Work schedules will be posted (with a copy to the Unit Chairperson) in advance of the first day of the weekly schedule as follows. Schedules will be posted at all times in areas that are accessible to employees. - Normally, fourteen (14) days in advance. - In the event that a new schedule must be posted due to a change in operational requirements, seven (7) days in advance. - In cases where a change is required for reasons beyond the Employer's control, the above time limits will not apply. Schedules will be posted at all times in areas that are accessible to employees. If a need to move someone exists then the junior person must move, provided they have the qualifications to perform the work, and subject to the need to have officers of both sexes to perform the required work. While the schedules are in effect, the Committee may discuss ideas for improving the morale and functioning of the operation including, for example, regular rotation of screening officers between posts such as Domestic, Transborder, and HBS.
