Common use of Twelve Hour Shift Schedules Clause in Contracts

Twelve Hour Shift Schedules. Twelve (12) hour shift schedules shall be implemented for the following work group: The twelve (12) hour shift schedule may be terminated by either the Company or the Union by giving the other Party thirty (30) days written notice of such intention. The Parties may also mutually agree to terminate the twelve (12) hour shift schedule within fourteen (14) days after such agreement to terminate is reached. Should the twelve (12) hour shift schedule be terminated, the Control Operators will revert to an eight (8) and/or ten (10) hour shift schedule. Scheduled working hours shall be the equivalent of eighty (80) hours per pay period averaged over a fifty- two (52) week year. A total of 2080 hours shall constitute a work year. With “pay averaging”, Control Operators’ pay will be based on eighty (80) hours per pay period. To accomplish this, “Compensation Days” will be used to ensure that there are no more than 2080 regular hours scheduled over 26 pay periods. Comp Days will in effect become scheduled days off. The number of Comp Days will be calculated for each Control Operator at the beginning of the schedule year. Comp Days will be booked at vacation sign-up after all vacation and lieu time have been signed. Due to the fact that Comp Days are scheduled days off: • Control Operators are entitled to work Overtime on any of their Comp Days; • Control Operators are not paid by either the Company or the insurance company for any sick time which occurs on a Comp Day, nor can the employee cancel a Comp Day in order to be paid; • Comp Days will not be carried forward from one schedule year to the next; Adjustments may be required if the employee changes shift or enters the Control Department part way through the schedule year. Adjustments will, whenever possible, be made in the same schedule year. If a Control Operator leaves the Company or moves to another department, their Comp Time hours must be reconciled. Should the employee owe the Company, the hours will be deducted from their pay. If the Company owes the employee, such time will be paid to the employee at straight time.
