Common use of PROCESS TIME Clause in Contracts

PROCESS TIME. Eligibility Workers may request up to two (2) hours per week as process time to complete work associated with their respective caseload. Requests for process time shall be submitted in writing. In their request, the employee shall outline the work that will be addressed and anticipate completing. The respective supervisor may either accept or reject the request. If the request is denied the supervisor shall outline the reasons for denial. Process time shall be strictly used for processing work except in cases in which an assigned client drops into the office or as directed by management to fulfill operational needs. If the preapproved processing time is interrupted due to operational need, the employee may work with the supervisor in an attempt to schedule an alternative time. Process time is not intended to be on-going or continuous; rather, it is to be requested on a week- to week basis as necessary. Management reserves the right to discontinue process time at any time. A two-week notice, if practicable, may be given to impacted employees. Such discontinuance and/or any provision of this Article shall not be appealable or grievable. Management agrees to discuss any changes to process time with the Union.
