Selection of Work Schedules. A. In those work groups where more than one tour is required to meet service requirements, the Company will assign work schedules in accordance with the preference of full-time employees in the order of their seniority, provided the employee is qualified and capable, as determined by the Company, of performing the duties of a particular assignment.
B. New employees entering the workforce and employees returning to work after a period of absence who were not available to select their work schedule, shall be assigned a schedule by the Company until the next regular selection period after the schedule has been assigned in accordance with 10.12 by employees present.
Selection of Work Schedules. Employees must request a work schedule within the parameters outlined in this policy. This request must be submitted to their Supervisor and shall include the following; a time of arrival, lunch period and time of departure. The Section Chief in consultation with the respective Laboratory Supervisor will determine the final work schedule for each employee in a given Laboratory. Each laboratory must be staffed on a daily basis from 8:30am – 4:30pm. Once a schedule has been established for an employee, that schedule may only be changed with the prior approval of the Laboratory Supervisor or the Section Chief. Employees must give 24-hour notice to their Supervisor or Section Chief if they need to change their work schedule for any given day, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If this request is denied by the Supervisor, Section Chief and/or the Associate Director of Health (Laboratories), the employee may file a grievance in accordance with the union agreement, but not have to ability to file for arbitration if the grievance is denied. Under this system the maximum degree of flexibility possible is as follows: The employee begins their scheduled workday between 7:30am and 9:00am, takes a lunch of at least one-half hour, but not greater the one and one-half hours, between 12:00pm and 1:30pm, and stops working between 3:00pm and 5:30pm. However, depending upon the staffing requirements for the individual work areas, it may be necessary to restrict the degree of flexibility in scheduling available to each employee. As noted above, the Section Chiefs and Supervisors are responsible for determining staffing requirements for their work areas and thus they may need to arrange more restrictive work schedules for employees to meet demands in their work areas. In some cases, this may involve the changing of existing work schedules, the rotation of work schedules and will follow the application of the principle of state seniority. Supervisors must review in advance the following with their respective Section Chief; staffing requirements for their area, employee work schedules and all restrictions to work schedule flexibility.
Selection of Work Schedules. 16.1 Seniority in the assignment of Hours-Days Schedule and reporting locations shall apply as follows:
16.1.1 When the Company determines that a reporting location position needs to be filled within a specific job classification in a headquarters, it will be filled using an internal job posting system. The position will be posted at all reporting locations within the job classification and headquarters for a period of fourteen (14) days and will be filled by the most senior employee (except Switching Services) in the job classification who has submitted written notification to supervision.
16.1.1.1 If no employee submits written notification, the Company may move the least senior employee in the job classification and headquarters not presently at the location or leave the position vacant.
16.1.1.2 When a job posting is required for the position of Network Technician, the words "most senior" or "least senior" shall always be followed by the word "qualified." A Network Technician who moves to a new reporting location will be expected to remain at the new location for a period of eighteen (18) months unless the time requirement is waived by mutual consent - (see also Lateral Board – Network Technician MOA).
16.1.2 Every thirteen (13) weeks, the Company shall provide an Hours- Days Schedule showing work schedules for each job classification at each reporting location for employees with more than 24 months of seniority. Such Hours-Days Schedule will be prepared for each reporting location and show the hours and days applicable to individual work schedules at that location.
16.1.2.1 Only employees with more than 24 months of seniority will be accorded a choice of Hours-Days Schedule in order of seniority. If Company requirements for maintaining experience and qualifications are not met, the least senior qualified employee will be assigned prior to the effective date for posting the new schedule. The employees' bid of Hours-Days Schedule will be completed seven (7) calendar days prior to the effective date for posting of the new schedule. The first schedule of the calendar year will be placed in effect the first full week of January in that year.
16.1.3 When the Hours-Days Schedule is vacated during the first ten (10) weeks of the 13-week schedule as a result of termination, promotion, reclassification, retirement, or military leave (active duty), and management determines the vacated schedule needs to be filled, management will post the schedule within seven (...
