Vacant Shifts. If at any time a vacant shift has to be filled on the road, it will be first offered to a full-time, off-duty deputy. If at any time a vacant shift has to be filled in the jail, it will be first offered to a full-time, off-duty jailer. In both instances, the vacancies will be filled by off-duty personnel by seniority rotation from the availability list. Off-duty court security officers may be offered overtime in the jail after all full-time off-duty correctional officers have been offered the shift and declined, whenever a third correctional officer is scheduled to work. Hospital duty will be offered equally among road deputies, corrections officers and bailiffs by seniority. If no off-duty employee accepts the shift vacancy, the Employer will then offer the vacant shift to an on-duty employee, by seniority. Vacant shifts in the Courthouse (bailiff/court security vacancies) may be offered as overtime equally among all road deputies and correctional officers, by seniority if all court security and bailiffs decline.

Vacant Shifts. Employees covered by this Agreement who have completed their probationary period may bid on an open shift. The employee with the greatest seniority will have preference for the open shift only if the employee is qualified to perform the work as determined by the Employer. An employee who has received a disciplinary action during the previous six (6) months that is related to and could impact his/her performance on a different shift, would not be eligible to bid on an alternative shift.

Vacant Shifts. For any vacancies that occur, employees will be allowed to bid by seniority within each classification, as outlined in Section 19.05.

The Company agrees to provide two consecutive rest days, keep different start times to a minimum and where possible provide 12 hours between each shift.
