Shift Assignment. Should the University elect to establish a shift on any other schedule than the regular day shift (Monday through Friday) or to assign employees to work on any such shift, the employee(s) with the most seniority in the classification affected or to be assigned on such shift shall have preference in moving to such shift. If an insufficient number of employees in the classification elect to move to such shift, then the employee(s) with the least seniority in the classification shall be assigned to such shift. If positions or shifts are reduced or eliminated or movement of personnel to other shifts is required, then the seniority of the affected employee will prevail in the selection of shift, provided the affected employee can do the required work. Such shift preference is only applicable within the employee's classification.
Shift Assignment. A. Permanent full-time school-site custodians shall be given a 20-workday notice of a change in shift assignment. Where the change in shift assignment constitutes a hardship, the employee may request a transfer, pursuant to the provisions of Article X, Section 1(E). Shift changes shall not be made in an arbitrary or capricious manner.
B. Permanent, full-time school-site custodians shall be given priority consideration for a shift change to fill a vacancy at the same work location.
Shift Assignment. 1. The County and the Union agree that a bid shift procedure based on seniority shall be implemented. The bid shift procedures shall apply to any position classification in any department where Employees occupying those positions are scheduled to day and non-day shifts, as defined in Article 19. At the discretion and approval of the Department Head, shift bidding for day schedules with different regular days off may be included under the purview of this Article. The procedure is as follows:
a. No less than once every twelve-month period, all permanent Employees covered under this agreement that occupy a position classification in a department where employees work both day and non-day shifts shall be allowed to submit a bid for the purpose of expressing a shift preference and days off (as days off are part of a posted shift). Bids should be submitted to the employee’s department head or his/her designee in accordance with the procedures as outlined within that department.
b. The County shall schedule Employees to available shifts and days off (as days off are part of a posted shift) according to the bids submitted and the seniority of the employees, and shall advise the Union and affected employees of the schedules.
2. Seniority shall be determined according to an employee’s length of service in a position classification within a department and organized into a Seniority List. If two or more eligible Employees have identical seniority levels, the employee with the greater length of service with the County, as determined by the employee’s hire date, shall be given bid preference. If a tie still remains, preference will be given based on the last four (4) digits of the employee’s social security number with the smaller number being first.
3. Prior to scheduling employees to available shifts, pursuant to Section 1 (b) herein, the department head shall have the exclusive right to exempt specific employees from the bid shift procedure noted herein on the basis of operational requirements. This provision will not be utilized to exempt entire classifications.
4. Employees exempted from the bid shift process, along with the Union, shall be notified in writing of their exemption from the bid shift process. Any employee exempted from the bid shift process may request that the County Manager reconsider (sustain or overturn) their exemption from the process on the basis of operational requirements.
Shift Assignment. 1. Annually, the University will notify employees of all available shifts for each of the four quarters in the coming year. Officers will bid the shift in each quarter in seniority order. Officers may not bid for the same shift for more than two (2) consecutive quarters. Bidding will be completed by May 15 for annual schedules to take effect July 1.
2. For the purposes of this section, seniority is defined as:
a. Officer’s length of continuous service in their current position;
b. Ties will be broken by the employees length of continuous service as a commissioned law enforcement officer with the WWU Campus Police;
c. In the event of a demotion, the employee’s length of total continuous service as a commissioned law enforcement officer with the WWU Campus Police will be the employee’s seniority date.
3. The University will assign Sergeants and Corporals to shifts in a manner that best distributes department leadership and provides an equitable rotation, all as determined by the University.
4. Law enforcement employees who work more than four (4) consecutive days as a result of a permanent change in shift schedule, will be compensated at the rate of time-and-one-half (1 ½) for those hours worked on the days in excess of four (4).
5. Except for employee-requested schedule changes, emergencies, or where staffing does not permit, a law enforcement employee who is subject to a temporary schedule change, will receive a minimum of twelve (12) hours off between the end of the current shift assignment and the start of the new shift assignment.
Shift Assignment. Within a given classification, shift assignments shall first be offered to employees by classification seniority on a voluntary basis. In the event shift assignments are not filled voluntarily, such assignments will be made on the basis of inverse classification seniority.
Shift Assignment. The Sheriff shall maintain the sole right to assign employees to each shift based on operational needs. Employees assigned to continuous operations shall be placed on permanent shifts with days off rotating every twenty-eight days according to the scheduling systems included in Appendix B. Based on their classification seniority, employees will bid for shift assignment and initial days off. The divisional supervisor outside the bargaining unit or his designee shall conduct the shift bid process. The bid schedule will be posted, in the patrol division or by an accepted electronic means, no later than the first Tuesday after Labor Day. The shift bid process will begin by the 15th of September. The bidding process will be as follows: The first 15 deputies on the seniority list will place their bids by the second Monday of September. The bids shall be posted no more than 48 hours later. The next 15 deputies in seniority shall submit their bids by the third Monday in September. These bids will be posted within the next 48 hours. The remainder of the deputies in patrol shall submit their bids by the fourth Monday in September. Nothing in this procedure prevents deputies from submitting a shift bid earlier then their assigned time; however, the bids will not be posted until it is their turn in the bid process. Any deputies who fail to provide their bids will be assigned a vacant spot. In the event a deputy is off work for any reason, the Divisional Supervisor will contact them by the phone number provided to the Office to obtain their bid. Final shift assignments will be posted by October 1. The new schedule shall normally begin in the last scheduled shift change in November, if practical; otherwise, the shift schedule will take place the first scheduled shift change in December. If a scheduling slot becomes available, other employees in the same division may bid for the vacant slot and be granted the slot based on classification seniority. No more than two slots will be affected by this bid process. This process will go into effect after the shift bidding procedures have been completed for a given year.The Sheriff reserves the right to leave a slot vacant based on operational needs. Patrol Sergeants on respective shifts will be permitted to select their days off in accordance with the following schedule: ALL PATROL SHIFTS: Friday/Saturday, Sunday/Monday, Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday New officers shall not be assigned a shift prior to completingtheir t...

If no officer agrees to trade, the officer requesting a trade shall remain with his frozen shift assignment. An officer may request a shift trade not more than once each six (6) month period.
44.3 A police officer transferred by the Chief of Police to a division or other working unit of the police department with frozen shifts, shall have the opportunity to select his shift assignment by bumping the least senior employee on the shift he desires, if there is no vacancy on such shift and if such bumped employee has less seniority than the bumping officer. A bumped officer shall exercise similar bumping rights within the same division or working unit; provided, however, that an officer assigned to a frozen shift from a different division or working unit after annual assignments may be assigned a frozen shift in another division or working unit based upon the operational needs of the Department on a temporary basis not to exceed eighty (80) work days in each calendar year.
