Assignment of Shifts and Days Off. The Appointing Authority will set up a standard shift and days off assignment policy within each division. Shift and days off assignment shall be determined, first, by persons being assigned to a shift and to days off based on the administrative needs of the department, so as to have a certain minimum number of experienced and/or qualified or skilled personnel on a shift. Once such department needs are met, shifts and days off may be determined based upon training and/or significant personal needs of an employee which reasonably require that the employee be assigned a particular shift or days off. Once such departmental and such personal needs are met, shifts and days off shall be determined by (1) time in rank, and (2) time in department. Under no circumstances shall place of residence of an employee be a determining factor in assigning shifts and days off. This agreement shall not restrict the Appointing Authority from making periodic changes in shifts consistent with this agreement.
