(b) Any employee who wishes to take advantage of his right to be free from work for the clear period established by applicable legislation, in order to vote in a Federal or Provincial general election, may do so by electing one of the following options at least forty- eight (48) hours in advance of the date when the work schedule for his department is normally posted. (i) He may request his department head in writing to shorten his regular daily shift in order to increase the amount of his clear period to a maximum of the amount established by the applicable legislation. In such case the Employer will be required to comply with the employee's request, but will not be required to pay him for the time not worked. (ii) He may request his department head in writing to reschedule his daily shift in order to maintain his regular number of hours. In such case the Employer may accommodate the request by modifying the starting time of his shift to the minimum extent required to produce the clear period required by the applicable legislation, or may decline the request. Where the Employer declines such a request, the employee will be permitted to arrive late or to leave early, as the case might be, and will be paid at his normal straight time rate for the time not worked. (c) The provisions of Paragraph (b) apply in their entirety to Municipal elections, in which case the clear period shall, in the absence of legislation to the contrary, be the same as for Provincial general elections.
