Variable and Compressed Work Week. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, upon the request of an employee and with the concurrence of NAV CANADA, an employee may complete their weekly hours of work in a period other than five (5) full days provided that over a period of twenty-eight (28) calendar days the employee works an average thirty-seven and one half (37 1/2) hours per week. As part of the provisions of this clause, attendance reporting shall be a requirement and shall be in a manner determined by NAV CANADA. In every twenty-eight (28) day period such an employee shall be granted days off which are not considered as days of rest for the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the implementation of any variation in hours shall not result in any additional costs to NAV CANADA by reason only of such variation, nor shall it be deemed to limit the right of NAV CANADA to schedule any hours of work permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Requests for variable or compressed work weeks shall not be unreasonably denied.
