Scheduling i) The designated employer will provide the employee with their schedule of shifts in accordance with the collective agreement for both homes. [Insert the split/sharing of shift numbers here] Similarly, the employee will submit all requests for time off including vacation to the designated employer in accordance with the collective agreement.
ii) Posted schedules will include home identification. An employee will only be scheduled in one home per shift.
iii) Overtime payment and other premiums will be in accordance with the collective agreement of the designated employer.
iv) Weekends off, consecutive work days and all other scheduling provisions will be in accordance with the collective agreement at the designated employer.
Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.
Innovative Scheduling Schedules which are inconsistent with the Collective Agreement provisions may be developed in order to improve quality of working life, support continuity of resident care, ensure adequate staffing resources, and support cost-efficiency. The parties agree that such innovative schedules may be determined locally by the Home and the Union subject to the following principles:
(a) Such schedules shall be established by mutual agreement of the Home and the Union;
(b) These schedules may pertain to full-time and/or part-time employees;
(c) The introduction of such schedules and trial periods, if any, shall be determined by the local parties. Such schedules may be discontinued by either party with notice as determined through local negotiations;
(d) Upon written agreement of the Home and the Union, the parties may agree to amend collective agreement provisions to accommodate any innovative unit schedules;
(e) It is understood and agreed that these arrangements are based on individual circumstances and each agreement is made on a without prejudice or precedent basis.
(f) It is understood and agreed that these arrangements can be utilized for temporary job postings for seasonal coverage (e.g. weekend workers, etc.).
Overtime Scheduling Provisions of this language is supplemented by the National Agreement as long as the National Agreement is in effect. See Exhibit, 1.H.3 “Mandatory Overtime Documents.” 907 Scheduled overtime shall be offered by classification seniority within the licensed pharmacy. Unscheduled overtime shall be offered by classification seniority to those employees present when the need for overtime arises. Unclaimed overtime whether scheduled or unscheduled, before being assigned to the least senior employee(s) within a classification who shall be required to work the overtime, will first be offered by bargaining unit seniority to any member of the bargaining unit within the licensed pharmacy who can perform the work. 908 Job Posting 909 Notices of all job openings within the bargaining unit shall be posted by the Employer by the usual and customary job posting process. The job posting notice may include special qualifications for the classification, and will be posted concurrently internally and externally for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days with the exact beginning and ending posting date. 910 Bidding on Posted Openings 911 After completion of an initial probationary period of at least ninety (90) calendar days in a position, employees shall be allowed to electronically submit a request through the Employer’s usual and customary job bidding process for posted jobs for posted jobs in higher-rated or lateral classifications available within their Area Pharmacy Operation. Where two (2) or more employees have submitted requests for the same job, seniority, as defined in Paragraphs 902 and 912, shall prevail where qualifications to perform the work of the new job are relatively equal. Where the seniority of two (2) or more employees bidding for the job opening is the same, the date of the individual employee’s original employment application shall be used to determine the senior employee. If an issue of seniority remains, representatives of the parties will meet to resolve the matter. An employee may be denied an opening regardless of seniority, if said employee has a current Final Warning in file. 912 Seniority for bidding on any posted opening within the bargaining unit shall prevail first by classification seniority within the Area Pharmacy Operation where openings exist, then to employees by bargaining unit seniority within the Area Pharmacy Operations. Thereafter, employees by classification seniority at any licensed pharmacy within the Southern California Region and finally employees by bargaining unit seniority at any licensed pharmacy within the Southern California Region will be considered for any posted opening provided a request form is on file with the Area Personnel Office prior to the end of the posting period. Employees who successfully bid on a posted position shall not be unreasonably delayed in assuming the new position. 913 Employees who move to a posted opening shall have a trial period of not less than ninety (90) calendar days. During such ninety (90) day trial period, the employee shall be given thorough instruction and proper orientation in the new work and shall be given an evaluation by the Employer between the fortieth (40th) and fiftieth (50th) day from the date in the new position. After such trial period, if the employee is unable to perform the duties of the new position satisfactorily said employee will be restored to the position immediately held prior to the new position without discrimination. During the trial period, an employee may be restored to their former position where it is determined that clear and present danger exists by allowing said employee to remain in the new position. An employee who is voluntarily reassigned pursuant to Article IX shall have seven (7) calendar days to change their mind and upon written request, shall be returned to their former position. This right shall be available only once during the term of the agreement. If additional circumstances occur, the Union and the Company will meet and confer. 914 For bidding and reduction in force purposes only, the Antelope Valley pharmacy locations will be considered as an Area Pharmacy Operation. 915 Temporary Position 916 If a position opens on a temporary basis, it will be treated as any job opening for bidding purposes. When a temporary position ceases to exist, the employee holding the position will return to his or her former job and employees displaced as a consequence can similarly return to their former position. If a temporary position becomes permanent, it must be posted as a permanent job. Employees awarded a temporary position will not accumulate classification seniority and will not have area seniority while assigned to said position, but will retain and continue to accumulate classification seniority and will maintain area seniority on his or her permanent position. 917 Reduction in Force 918 Where inconsistent this language is supplemented by the National Employment Income Security Agreement as long as the National Agreement is in effect. 919 Reduction in force will be accomplished by classification and status within each licensed pharmacy.
Scheduling Vacations Vacations are to be scheduled in advance and taken at such reasonable times as approved by the employee's department with particular regard to the needs of the Employer, seniority of employee, and, insofar as practicable, with regard to the wishes of the employee. No vacation shall be assigned by the Employer or deducted from the employee's account as disciplinary action.
Commissioning Commissioning tests of the Interconnection Customer’s installed equipment shall be performed pursuant to applicable codes and standards. The ISO and Connecting Transmission Owner must be given at least five Business Days written notice, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the Parties, of the tests and may be present to witness the commissioning tests.
Scheduling Provisions The scheduling and premium provisions relating to consecutive weekends off in Article 16 do not apply to employees who accept positions under this provision.
Rescheduling of Tests If the Authority’s Engineer certifies to the Authority and the Contractor that it is unable to issue the Completion Certificate, as the case may be, because of events or circumstances on account of which the Tests could not be held or had to be suspended, the Contractor shall be entitled to re-schedule the Tests and hold the same as soon as reasonably practicable.
