Work Plan Development Including Hours of Work. The University and the Association recognize the benefit of work plans for members and encourage members and their supervisors to develop these plans. This clause specifies the expectation for the development of a work plan for each position, including the determination of hours of work. These plans should provide for an appropriate balance of work life and personal life and equity across the bargaining unit. The plans will be developed in a consultative fashion and will provide flexibility in meeting the needs of the member and the University. These work plans will be subject to change to meet the varying demands of the University, the department and the member.

This work plan will outline the hours of work within an annual framework of 1950 hours (weekly average of 37.5) and priorities for duties and deliverables.

In documenting expectations of hours of work, consideration should be given to the core hours of the University (8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday), the regular operating hours of the unit and the need to balance work and personal life. If the hours of work required by the University will exceed the annual framework of 1950 hours (weekly average of 37.5) or require work outside of scheduled work hours, additional compensation in the form of time off with pay, or additional pay will be provided and will form part of the work plan. Contact Human Resources to discuss the appropriate level of compensation. If the parties experience difficulty in developing suitable work plans or compensation arrangements, they should consult Human Resources or the ...
