Common use of Shift of Workweek Clause in Contracts

Shift of Workweek. Twice during production, the Company may shift the workweek without incurring extra costs, by doing either of the following: (1) Shift the workweek forward by one or two days by adding one or two days off, consecutive with the seventh day of the regular workweek, provided that each additional day off shall be at least twenty-four hours in duration. If work is performed on any of the additional days off, the rate of pay shall be that of a seventh day of work. Or (2) Shift the workweek back by one day by changing the seventh day of the regular workweek to the first day of the shifted workweek, provided that the sixth day of the regular workweek is a day off consisting of a 34-hour rest period. If work is performed on the day off, the rate of pay shall be that of a seventh day of work. The second shift is intended to allow for return to the original workweek. The Union agrees that it will not unreasonably deny a request to waive the seven (7) day notice requirement when circumstances giving rise to such request is beyond the reasonable control of the Company and occurs within the seven (7) day notification period. In no case will the allowable notice be less than five (5) days notification.
