Common use of Wages, Hours & Working Conditions Clause in Contracts

Wages, Hours & Working Conditions. 1. Except as otherwise provided herein, the wages set forth in Article XVII shall be effective as of January 1, 2020, and all other terms and conditions shall become effective on the payroll date nearest to January 1, 2020. As to all buildings later adopting this agreement, it shall take effect in accordance with Article X. 2. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to lower any employee’s wage. If employees in any building had in effect on January 1, 2016, a practice of terms or conditions better than those provided for herein, applicable generally to them for wages, hours, sick pay, vacations, holidays, premium pay for Saturday and/or Sunday work, relief periods, jury duty or group life insurance, such better terms or conditions shall be continued only for employees employed by the Employer on January 1, 2016. Any employee who acquired a better term or condition after January 1, 2016, shall continue to receive same. The Arbitrator may relieve the obligations in the preceding sentences if enforcement would work an undue hardship, injustice or inequity upon the Employer. A change of schedules or duties except as provided in paragraph 3 of this Article, so long as required relief and luncheon periods are reasonably spaced, shall not violate this Section, provided the employee, the Union and the RAB are given at least three (3) weeks advance written notice and such change is reasonable. However, every employee presently working a regular Monday through Friday workweek (and if such employee leaves employment for any reason whatever the person who fills such employee’s position) shall receive premium pay at time and one-half the regular straight-time hourly rate for any work performed by an employee on a Saturday or Sunday. Employers shall provide temporary schedule changes in accordance with the coverage and requirements of New York City Admin. Code § 20-1261 et seq., and the grievance and arbitration procedure shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any such claims and remedies. The ability to pursue remedies in any other forum is hereby waived. 3. All new employees may be offered and assigned to any cleaning duty in the building, provided that it does not exceed a reasonable day’s work. Present office cleaning employees may be assigned to any cleaning duty on office floors provided (1) that the Employer give the Union three (3) weeks written notice of any new assignments except for temporary assignments, and (2) that the Employer shall not assign employees to workloads or work duties requiring unusual physical exertion, strength or dexterity. This provision shall not be applied by the Employer to substantially increase present workloads or to substantially alter duties so as to require the employee to perform more than a reasonable day’s work. If the Union grieves and/or arbitrates a dispute pursuant to this provision, the Employer in such arbitration shall have the burden of showing that only a reasonable day’s work as provided above is required of the employee.
