Transfer Between Shifts. 7.2.1 An employee may initiate a request for transfer between shifts by submitting a "Request for Transfer" form to the immediate supervisor. All request forms shall be filed in the Human Resources Department and shall be kept in active status until the employee requests otherwise.
Transfer Between Shifts. 33.1 The present administrative practices shall continue for assuring that the employees on each shift will, as a group, represent a broad range of seniority (i.e., that each shift will include some employees with high and some with low seniority ranking). A shift balancing meeting will take place each year. The actual shift changes will take place after January 1st of each year. Employees will be notified of transfer of shift by February 1. Actual transfer dates will be completed prior to the implementation of the vacation year. Employees may submit requests for possible shift changes through the chain of command. When a vacancy is created by a retirement or promotion, the Department shall announce the vacancy through an e-mail to all personnel covered by this MOU. Fire Personnel may submit letters of interest through channels to the Deputy Chief. The Department may award the position based on seniority at the discretion of the Fire Chief. The Association recognizes that the Fire Chief retains full discretion to place personnel in positions based on the needs of the Department. The Fire Chief or his or her designee still have the ability to transfer, at other times of the year, personnel based on the needs of the department.
Transfer Between Shifts. Subject to the terms of this Agreement regarding consecutive hours off work or as provided at sub-clause 2.3 above, notification may be given to an employee prior to the completion of the previous day or shift (or where the employee concerned genuinely agrees to lesser notice) of the requirement to transfer between day work and shift work, or between rosters. Such transfer between day work and shift work, or between rosters shall be by genuine agreement between management and an individual employee, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement.
