Shadow shifts. Where the customer requires shadow shifts to assist with the introduction of new workers, and this is supported by the customer or their family, Cara may claim for up to 6 hours of week-day support per year.
Shadow shifts. Shadow shifts are a personal professional development opportunity that allows an employee to “shadow” another employee in a position different from their own. The employee enters into shadow shifts willingly. Employees working shadow shifts are not eligible for increased rates of pay. A shadow shift is not to exceed more than four (4) hours and cannot be requested or performed more than once per month. Requests for shadow shifts shall not be unreasonably denied, unless the employee is not currently performing at the level expected by management for their current position, or unless an employee is currently in their initial or promotional trial period. Employees may at any time request in writing of their supervisor or manager to “Shadow” an employee of a different position from their own. Upon approval, the supervisor or manager of the employee making the request will make arrangements with a supervisor or manager of the position to be shadowed. The shadow shift will occur within forty-five (45) days of the original request. As needed and requested, staff are responsible for working with their manager to arrange for coverage during shadowing. Upon approval from their supervisor or manager they may arrange with the employee they will shadow on what the best shift would be for them to work in this shadowing capacity, if this was not already arranged by their supervisor or manager or the supervisor or manager of the shadowing position.
