Schedule Change Pay. The Employer will provide Full-time and Part-time employees with a minimum of two (2) hours advance notice of a modification to the regular work schedule including requests to return to work at a time other than their regular scheduled work hours. In the event of the Employer’s failure to provide two (2) hours advance notice, the employee will receive one and one-half (1½) times their base rate for all hours worked and a minimum of two (2) hours pay.
Schedule Change Pay. When a Trooper’s schedule has been changed with fewer than twenty-one (21) calendar days notice, all hours worked outside of the Trooper’s originally scheduled shift shall be compensated in cash at one and a half (1.5) times the Trooper’s regular hourly rate. Changed shifts have a new assigned start and end time and must be scheduled for the same length as the original scheduled shift (8, 9, or 10 hours). When any hours of the new assigned shift overlap with the original scheduled shift, the overlapping hours shall be compensated at the Trooper’s regular rate of pay until the Trooper reaches the end of their newly assigned 8, 9, or 10 hours. Hours exceeding the scheduled shift length will be paid consistent with Article 25, unless outside of the original scheduled shift. Schedule change pay does not apply during an emergency declared by the Commissioner of Public Safety requiring a schedule change for ten (10) or more employees for the duration of one (1) week or more. In reaching agreement on this language, the parties developed some examples to assist in interpreting and applying this language. Those examples are set forth in Appendix H.
