TOWP Policy Guidelines Sample Clauses

TOWP Policy Guidelines. A. Normally, TOWP time off is approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor. In the case of absences due to accident, illness or emergencies, notification of supervisors is required as soon as possible. B. The granting of single day or less TOWP will be accomplished on the basis that additional payroll premiums or operating costs will not be incurred. C. The progress of the work must be considered in granting TOWP periods. This consideration may result in limiting the number of personnel in a crew or shift that can be off at one time. D. Except as herein provided, seniority will prevail in the selection process for TOWP periods as outlined below. 1) At the start of the calendar year the TOWP schedule will be circulated in accordance with seniority. At least one (1) full week, which may include plant closure days, must be scheduled as a block at this time. 2) After the initial scheduling, the TOWP schedule will again be circulated, in seniority order, to reserve no more than three (3) TOWP periods of less than one (1) week. 3) After the second circulation, employees may schedule their remaining TOWP days in single day or less increments on a first come first served basis. E. To assure firm commitments and barring unforeseen emergencies, the scheduling of at least one (1) week of TOWP and the three (3) TOWP periods detailed in D 1) and D 2) must be completed by March 1st. F. If an individual wishes to change his scheduled TOWP period, the normal procedure will be to wait until all other personnel have chosen their periods and then reschedule. However, in a case of undue hardship, the employee should state the facts in writing to his manager and consideration will be given to working out an alternate solution. G. For employees that work shifts, the one (1) week or more of TOWP may be scheduled to correspond to their appropriate shift schedule. H. On an individual basis exceptions may be allowed so as to permit employees to use all of their TOWP as split TOWP days. Such exceptions will be considered only in cases of undue hardship.
