Shift Giveaways. The purpose of shift giveaways is to reduce absenteeism by allowing employees to handle unexpected situations or ones that conflict with their work schedule. Employees may give away shifts as long as they are not giving away their job. Both employees must sign a shift giveaway form or must be in writing and signed by all parties involved to be considered valid, and submit to Management. Management will reply back in writing or on the shift giveaways form the following day to all parties considered. The employee signing to work that shift is responsible for that shift. The employee who covers a shift will be paid at the rate of straight time for such time worked. Example: Agent “A” works for Agent “B” during the first pay period of the month - RESULT – Agent “A” will receive eight (8) hours (or whatever regular scheduled hours Agent “B” has), additional straight-time pay on the next cheque that he receives. The Company will not incur overtime unless the employee goes over the regular scheduled hours for that day, i.e. over eight (8) hour shift, ten (10) hour shift, etc. No employee shall be eligible for a shift trade if they have worked, or will work, a shift of eight (8) hours before the trade shift, or after the trade shift. Employees who are CTX certified and are scheduled to do CTX, can only give away shifts to other employees who are CTX certified. If an employee fails to work the giveaway shift(s) only the employee who did not show up for work, will lose their shift exchange privileges for thirty (30) days.
