Special Scheduling Considerations Clause Samples

Special Scheduling Considerations. In addition to the provisions of this Article regarding work schedules, the following provisions shall apply to employees in Discretionary Assignments, if applicable. (a) Units with multiple watches. For units or work groups that assign employees to more than one Watch, once per year the employees may, by seniority within the unit, designate their preference for the watch they will work. However, if the Employer needs to assign employees to a watch different from the employee’s preference it may do so. If, after the initial designation: i. the Employer needs to change the number of employees on a watch, it may do so by seeking volunteers or applying inverse unit seniority; or ii. the Employer needs to change an employee’s start time within a watch, it may do so upon 30-days’ advance notice to the employee.
