Common use of Work Schedule Bidding Clause in Contracts

Work Schedule Bidding. Each security staff member may submit their bid for a shift and days off work schedule following the posting of the work schedule by the Assistant Superintendent of Security or designee. Employees shall have ten (10) working days following the posting of the work schedule to make their bid selections. The employer will post the work schedule for bidding twenty-five (25) calendar days prior to the rotation date. Security staff may submit three (3) selections. Such selections must be submitted in priority order. Officers who have completed trial service may bid shifts and days off in order of seniority as defined in Section 8 of this Article. Employees who fail to successfully bid, or who do not apply for bid, will be assigned at the discretion of the Assistant Superintendent of Security or designee. Security staff hired in between bid periods will be assigned by the Assistant Superintendent of Security or designee. Security staff will bid every six (6) months for rotation effective the first (1st) Sunday of October and April. If an employee has completed trial service before the rotation date, the employee will be eligible to bid by seniority as defined in Section 8 of this Article. In the event staff members cannot bid for themselves, they may elect a proxy to place their bid for them. At the assigned bid time, the proxy must produce the official proxy form, signed by the person for whom they are bidding. Staff may choose to defer their bid in order to bid with another person. In that instance, both staff members will bid at the time assigned to the lower senior person of the two. Any staff member who misses their bid window will be afforded the opportunity to bid between the next available time slots after reporting to bid. However, they will not be allowed to bump another staff member from a posted bid. No bids will be accepted after the last time slot available to bid. All bids are final, staff will be expected to work the shift and day off schedule they have selected. At the conclusion of the workday, bids will be posted outside the Staff Deployment Office throughout the bid process in order to ensure staff will have the most current information available for placing their bid. An electronic copy will also be made available to the Union designee so that it can be posted on the computer system.
