Reductions in Hours. The district has the right to reduce hours of positions because of program changes and/or financial limitations. If the number of hours an employee is assigned to work is reduced by five or more hours per week, he or she may accept the reduction in hours, or shall be assigned to the same position that is held by the least senior employee whose assignment is closest to, but not greater than, the assignment originally held by the employee whose hours are being reduced. The employee displaced by this reassignment may accept the assignment of the person whose hours are being reduced or may request reassignment based on a reduction in hours. The reassignment should occur at a time mutually acceptable to the union and the district and does not affect the educational programming for students. Any employee so affected may, at his or her discretion, be placed on layoff in lieu of accepting an assignment to a position with fewer hours. If all employees in a position are reduced by a similar amount of time due to reductions for the following school year, the district will attempt to maintain benefit status by seniority, for as many employees as feasible.
Reductions in Hours. When involuntary scheduled reductions in hours occur in a location, the Company will not reduce the hours of a full time associate below 35 hours in any regular workweek. Nothing in this Agreement provides a guarantee of 40 hours per week to full time associates. A full time associate, who is subject to a temporary involuntary reduction in scheduled hours, shall be able to use accrued vacation or sick hours to offset the reduction in scheduled hours at the discretion of the associate to a maximum of 40 hours per week. If the Company determines to reduce the hours of a full time position below 30 hours per week, it will be treated as a layoff subject to paragraph 2 above.
Reductions in Hours. SWMetro has the right to reduce hours of positions because of program changes and/or financial limitations. If the number of hours an employee is assigned to work is reduced by more than 2.5 hours per week, they may accept the reduction in hours, or shall be assigned to the same position that is held by the least senior employee whose assignment is closest to, but not greater than, the assignment originally held by the employee whose hours are being reduced. The employee displaced by this reassignment may accept the assignment of the person whose hours are being reduced, or may request reassignment based on a reduction in hours. The reassignment should occur at a time mutually acceptable to the union and SWMetro, and does not affect the educational programming for students. Any employee so affected may, at their discretion, be placed on layoff in lieu of accepting an assignment to a position with fewer hours. If the reduction in hours require a change in program assignment, the employee must meet minimum qualifications of that new position. If the new position requires additional training to meet minimum qualifications, the employees may be provisionally assigned to the new position and SWMetro must make required training available to the employee within three (3) months of the assignment. (If the required training is not available within three (3) months, the employee may remain in the position until such training is available.) Upon being notified of available training, the employee must complete the required training (including passing any required related tests/skill assessments) within three (3) months of the date the training is first available. (If the available training includes multiple components and said components take longer than three (3) months to complete, the employee must notify SWMetro of this and the three (3) month timeline to complete the training will be extended. If all employees in a position are reduced by a similar amount of time due to reductions for the following school year, the SWMetro will maintain benefit status by seniority, for as many employees as feasible.
Reductions in Hours. The Company retains discretion to determine the number of hours worked per week by both its full-time and part-time associates. If the Company reduces the scheduled hours of full-time associates on a temporary basis to less than 30 hours per week, the Company will provide reasonable notice to such employees and the reduction will not affect their status as full-time associates under this Agreement.
Reductions in Hours. The parties agree that the New Hampshire Judicial Branch has agreed with the Governor's office to reduce the Judicial Branch’s overall budget by $3.1 million over the time period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011. The parties agree that this reduction should be achieved with the least amount of negative effect upon the compensation and benefits of judicial employees. The parties agree that any reduction in compensation, benefits or hours of work should be distributed in an equitable fashion. The parties agree to meet at least quarterly through the Labor- Management Committee to discuss the amount of reductions in hours of work needed to meet the $3.1 million budget reduction. The Judicial Branch agrees to use means of budget reduction other than reductions in hours of work as much as reasonably possible in meeting the budget reduction. The Association acknowledges the Judicial Branch's determination not to increase the number of vacant positions to meet the budget reduction. The Judicial Branch agrees that any reductions in hours of work will be applied to all nonjudicial employees and that voluntary reduction will be sought from judicial employees. To the extent that reductions in hours of work are necessary, they shall be accomplished by means of furlough days. The Judicial Branch shall give employees notice of any furlough day at least four weeks in advance. Should furlough days be used to accomplish reductions in hours, the Judicial Branch shall use days, if necessary, from the following list: Friday, April 2, 2010 (not connected to holiday) Friday, April 30, 2010 (not connected to holiday) Friday, May 28, 2010 (Friday before Memorial Day weekend) Friday, July 2, 2010 (Friday before July 4th weekend) Friday, August 6, 2010 (not connected to holiday) Friday, September 3, 2010 (Friday before Labor Day weekend) Friday, October 8, 2010 (Friday before Columbus Day weekend) Friday, November 12, 2010 (day after Veteran's Day) Thursday, December 23, 2010 (day before Christmas weekend) Friday, January 14, 2011 (Friday before Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Day weekend) Friday, February 18, 2011 (Friday before Presidents' Day weekend) Friday, March 18, 2011 (not connected to holiday) Friday, April 29, 2011 (not connected to holiday) Friday, May 27, 2011 (Friday before Memorial Day weekend) Any additional furlough days needed, beyond those listed above, shall be subject to negotiation between the Judicial Branch and the Association. Any reduction in hours by means of furl...
Reductions in Hours. When a reduction occurs within the bargaining unit, the Association and those employees affected will be notified. An employee whose annual work hours (hours or days) have been reduced by the equivalent of more than 12.5% of their average daily hours per day shall have bumping rights to a position within the same classification that has more hours than the employee’s reduced schedule. The employee may “bump” a less senior employee in a different classification as long as these conditions are met:
Reductions in Hours. When involuntary scheduled reductions in hours occur in a location, that lead to the scheduling of a full-time associate at less than 35 hours, the Company will seek volunteers before reducing the hours of a full time associate below 35 hours in any regular workweek (not more than 6 weeks per calendar year), and will not reduce a full-time associate below 30 hours in a regular workweek. Associates who volunteer for a reduced schedule may nonetheless be assigned and required to work more hours than they requested. Nothing in this Agreement provides a guarantee of 40 hours per week to full time associates. A full time associate, who is subject to a temporary involuntary reduction in scheduled hours, shall be able to use accrued vacation or PTO hours to offset the reduction in scheduled hours at the discretion of the associate to a maximum of 40 hours per week, or accept an assignment at another store where hours are available. If the Company determines to reduce the hours of a full time position below 30 hours per week, it will be treated as a layoff subject to paragraph 2 above.
