Shift Cycle Optimization. NAV CANADA may, from time to time, optimize shift cycles at a unit/specialty in accordance with the following procedures:
(i) No later than 90 days prior to the optimization change, each employee shall choose either a 17/11 pattern or a 34/22 pattern as described in 16.02 (a) and 16.02 (b)(i) and (ii).
(ii) Employees may also indicate if they have an interest in the shift cycles listed in 16.02(c), should the optimization result in the generation of such shift cycles.
(iii) No later than 60 days prior to the change, the Employer shall publish a shift schedule based on the employees’ selection as set out in (i) above.
(iv) Employees shall then be entitled to choose among the available shift cycles, in order of seniority, provided they are consistent with their choice made in (i) above. These selections must be completed no later than 30 days prior to the change. Individuals failing to make a selection will be assigned a shift cycle.
(v) Should the schedule include shift cycles as listed in 16.02(c), they will be assigned in seniority order to employees who had indicated an interest in such cycles. Should there be an insufficient number of such interested employees, the remaining cycles of this nature will be assigned to employees in the unit/specialty in reverse seniority order.
(vi) NAV CANADA will not modify the above assigned shift cycles between two optimization changes, except for those amended in accordance with 16.03.
(vii) The minimum time period between optimization changes shall be 12 months unless agreed otherwise by the parties.
Shift Cycle Optimization. (i) NAV CANADA will introduce optimized shift cycles commencing November 1st, 1999. Once implemented and subject to Article 16.03, NAV CANADA will not modify the optimized shift cycles for a period of at least twelve (12) months. Thereafter, NAV CANADA will not modify the above optimized shift cycles for at least a twelve (12) month period after each optimization change, except for those amended in accordance with 16.03.
(ii) Shift cycles shall be posted at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to a change. All employees must select their individual choices within thirty (30) calendar days from the commencement of the notice period. Shift cycles shall be selected by seniority. Individuals failing to make a selection will be assigned a shift cycle.
