Work Schedule Bids. 1. Work schedules are posted for bid, as far in advance as practical, or a minimum of 7 calendar days. The posting will contain the scheduled start times, shift lengths, scheduled days off, work areas, and effective date. No bid line may contain more than 2 start times per week. Employees will bid under this section using Bid Seniority. Once the bidding process is completed, schedule bid awards will be posted at least 7 days prior to the effective date of the new work schedule. Employees unavailable to bid at their appointed bidding time, may bid by proxy, or by other means established locally. Active employees, who report late for bidding, but while the bidding process is ongoing, will be permitted to bid on the remaining available lines at the time they report. Active employees who fail to bid will be assigned an available work schedule after completion of the bid. When there is a need to move employees between bid line work areas, it will be done in reverse bid seniority from the available employees in the work area the Company identifies providing that: (a) the employee is qualified to do the work in question, (b) the employee has enough time remaining within their scheduled shift to complete the assignment.
