Request by Full time Employees to Reduce to Part-time
D.3.3.1. Permanent Employees may request to reduce on a temporary basis their employment status from full-time to part-time. The usual definition of “part-time” will be “half-time”; however, in extraordinary circumstances, the Employer may agree to a different arrangement. The procedure for making such a request will be made known annually to Employees. The Employer shall notify the Bargaining Unit within ten (10) working days of any Employee whose job status has changed from full-time to part-time.
D.3.3.2. Employees who change their status from full-time to part-time will retain the sick leave Credits they earned prior to the change. After the change in status, sick leave Credits earned will be prorated in relation to the amount of time worked.
D.3.3.3. The cost of benefits for those Employees who change their status from full-time to part-time will be prorated in relation to the amount of time worked and the Employee will pay the balance of the premium cost of the plans.
D.3.3.4. Requests to temporarily reduce status from full-time to part-time shall be made annually. The Employer agrees to allow the Employee to return to full-time employment at the end of the agreed-upon term of part-time service.
