(b) In selecting his weekly schedules of shifts, and when accepting supplementary shifts during the course of any given work week, any service employee who has provided prior written authorization on a Supplementary Employee Record of Scheduling Preferences form (the "Supplementary form"), will be entitled to split his days off for the purpose of maximizing his hours in any given work week or in order to obtain his preferred days off, and in any such circumstances the Employer will not be required to pay overtime rates or incur any other penalty. (c) In selecting his weekly schedules of shifts, and when accepting supplementary shifts during the course of any given work week, any employee who has provided prior written authorization on a Supplementary form, will be entitled to select shifts which result in him working more than five consecutive days or more than five days in a seven day period, providing that this is done only for the purpose of maximizing his hours. In any such circumstances the Employer will not be required to pay overtime rates or any other penalty. Each Supplementary form shall remain in force until replaced by another Supplementary form. No employee may in any event work more than five days within any work week as defined in paragraph (d) herein, unless he is paid at double his straight time hourly rate.

(f) Having selected his preferred weekly schedule of shifts, a Regular employee will not be entitled to make changes in his weekly days off or in the a.m., p.m. or midnight shifts he selected, for the balance of the period of four months, unless those changes can be accomplished without causing disruption to any other employee. (g) Where, after having made his selection of a weekly schedule of shifts, a Regular employee discovers that one or more of his chosen shifts becomes unavailable, he shall be offered a substitute shift in place of any missing shift that in the first instance constitutes part of a Part- Time pool of shifts, or, if none exists, then one that constitutes part of the weekly schedule of shifts of the most junior Regular employee in his classification.
