Shift Assignment Notification. Notification of shift assignment shall be made ninety-six (96) hours in advance of the assigned shift for both officers assigned to patrol and those assigned to detectives. It is understood and agreed that such notification need not take place in the event of an emergency as defined by the Chief of Police or his designee.
Shift Assignment Notification. The Employer agrees to provide a minimum of seven (7) calendar days notice to an employee in the event of an Employer-directed permanent change in the employee's shift assignment or work schedule, except as otherwise provided in Appendix II. For temporary changes in work assignment occurring within the employee's assigned work week, the Employer will provide two (2) calendar days notice with the day of notification constituting the first day of notice. For emergency reasons, lack of work, an existing safety hazard to the employee or others, or mutual agreement between the Employer and employee under Article 8.7(e), the Employer may temporarily change an employee's schedule with fewer than two (2) calendar days notice. Temporary is defined as no longer than one (1) week. Temporary shift changes not mutually agreed to shall not be employed to avoid the accrual of overtime. The assignment of employees in various shifts within each work group or department shall be determined by the employing official, provided that when qualifications are substantially equal in the judgment of the employing department, seniority shall be a factor in determining shift assignment. This criteria does not apply to positions deemed by the employer to require a rotational shift.
