Short Notice Shift Changes. All first day, short notice (illness or accident) employee absences shall be filled by the most senior employee(s) not scheduled that day who are not already scheduled for five (5) days in the week of absence. On second and subsequent days of confirmed absence due to illness, accident or for any other reason, the hours shall be scheduled by seniority. It is agreed that in recognition of the Employer’s difficulties in re-scheduling on “short notice” illnesses and also the resulting frustrations and disruption suffered by present employees continually having their posted schedules changed, all first-day, short-notice illnesses or accident employee absences of pre-ratification-1997 (August 17 1997) employees shall be filled by pre-ratification-1997 (August 17 1997) employees not scheduled that day, or in the event there are no unscheduled employees. On the second and subsequent days of confirmed absence due to illness, accident or for any other reason, the hours shall be scheduled as per present practice.
