Training - Attendance Required. Where the Corporation requires RCMP civilian staff to attend at training courses and such training requires an amendment to the shift schedule of one or more employees, the Civilian Supervisor will advise the affected employees of the need for a shift change thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the commencement of training. The Civilian Supervisor and each affected employee shall, thereafter, attempt to reach a mutually acceptable shift arrangement. Failing agreement, the Civilian Supervisor shall make the reassignment of hours (shift change) and provide a minimum of seven (7) calendar days’ notice to affected employees. Shift changes for training purposes may be made with fewer than seven (7) calendar days but only with the consent of the affected employee(s). Where such a shift change is made, the affected employees shall be entitled to receive their full regular pay (including shift differential) for all hours that would normally have occurred during that period had the schedule not been modified. For example, if a Telecommunication Operator was scheduled to work two twelve (12) hour days and two twelve (12) hour night shifts for a total of forty-eight (48) hours, and the schedule was changed to provide two twelve (12) hour day shifts, one twelve (12) hour night shift, and one eight (8) hour training shift for a total of forty- four (44) hours, the employee would be entitled to forty-eight (48) hours of pay at straight-time rates plus any shift differential that would normally have occurred had one of the night shifts not been amended. If the seven (7) calendar day minimum notice period is not provided or a shorter period consented to by the employee, the employee shall be entitled to overtime for the hours actually worked on his/her normal day of rest. In the above, example, the affected employee would be entitled to regular pay for the three (3) twelve hour shifts and sixteen hours for the training shift for a total Letter of Understanding – RCMP Civilian Staff - Training (cont'd) Page 2 of fifty-two (52) hours of pay plus any shift differential that would normally have occurred had one of the night shifts not been amended. If, as a result of any such shift change, an employee actually works in excess of their normally scheduled hours in a pay period, the employee shall be entitled to overtime compensation as per the Collective Agreement.
