Shift Selections. (a) The Parties agree that a shift selection process should occur where deemed necessary. (b) Company seniority within the job classification shall be a determining factor in the selection of days off and shift to be worked. (c) The Company shall retain the right to see that the required number of experienced employees are available on each shift to ensure proper and efficient operation. (d) Holiday Relief employees may only take part in a shift selection process if there is a vacancy within the Department or Classification. (e) If present in the Department or Classification and where applicable, the senior Trainee will be appointed to the vacant non-Trainee position at the close of the shift selection and the Trainee vacancy shall be posted. (f) Should there be a vacant position still available at the close of the shift selection, this vacancy shall be posted, as per Clause 15. (g) To avoid delay, employees will endeavour to leave a list of preferred shifts with their immediate Supervisor prior to going on vacation or other extended leave. (h) If an employee is absent during a shift selection due to medical reasons, he may make a selection in absentia until his return. Where it is not possible for the employee to make a selection, he will be assigned an available shift at the close of the selection process and will retain the shift until the next shift selection. In either case, the shift will then be filled through temporary posting, as per Clause 15.03.
