Job Sharing / Time Sharing (a) Job sharing shall be interpreted to mean two employees sharing one full- time position (10 shifts bi-weekly). (b) Time sharing shall be interpreted to mean two employees sharing one full line (14 shifts bi-weekly). Clarifying Note: One full-time and a regular part-time “shadow” does not constitute a time sharing arrangement. (c) The introduction of job/time sharing arrangements in a Home will be subject to mutual agreement between the Union and the Employer. Job/time sharing requests shall be considered on an individual basis. Such approval will not be unreasonably withheld. (d) The employees involved in job share/ time sharing are entitled to all the regular part-time provisions except those which are modified as follows: i) Schedules and scheduling language shall be established by the mutual agreement of the Union and the Home. This will include the division of hours between the job/time sharers. ii) Each job/time sharer may exchange shifts with her or his partner as well as other employees as provided by the Collective Agreement. Employees who are currently in a job/time sharing arrangement and are full-time will retain that status and be covered by the full-time provisions of the collective agreement. For clarity, this grandparents employees in time sharing arrangements, not positions. When individuals leave these positions, the vacant position will be posted under (f) and (g) below.
Shared Transport The Shared Transport Network Element (“Shared Transport”) provides the collective interoffice transmission facilities shared by various Carriers (including Qwest) between end-office switches and between end-office switches and local tandem switches within the Local Calling Area. Shared Transport uses the existing routing tables resident in Qwest switches to carry the End User Customer’s originating and terminating local/extended area service interoffice Local traffic on the Qwest interoffice message trunk network. CLEC traffic will be carried on the same transmission facilities between end- office switches, between end-office switches and tandem switches and between tandem switches on the same network facilities that Qwest uses for its own traffic. Shared Transport does not include use of tandem switches or transport between tandem switches and end-office switches for Local Calls that originate from end users served by non- Qwest Telecommunications Carriers (“Carrier(s)”) which terminate to QLSP End Users.
Leave Sharing The SPS agrees to maintain a leave sharing plan that conforms to law. Shared leave will be used only for the purpose of maintaining salary and insurance benefits. The length of time a position is held for the employee’s return will not be extended by the use of shared leave.
Line Sharing 4.1 ‘Line Sharing’ is an arrangement by which Verizon facilitates ICG’s provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), Multiple Virtual Line (MVL (a proprietary technology)), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, to a particular Customer location over an existing copper Loop that is being used simultaneously by Verizon to provide analog circuit-switched voice grade service to that Customer by making available to ICG, solely for ICG’s own use, the frequency range above the voice band on the same copper Loop required by ICG to provide such services. This Section 4 addresses Line Sharing over loops that are entirely copper loops. 4.2 In accordance with, but only to the extent required by Applicable Law, Verizon shall provide Line Sharing to ICG for ICG’s provision of ADSL (in accordance with T1.413), Splitterless ADSL (in accordance with T1.419), RADSL (in accordance with TR # 59), MVL (a proprietary technology), or any other xDSL technology that is presumed to be acceptable for shared line deployment in accordance with FCC rules, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In order for a Loop to be eligible for Line Sharing, the following conditions must be satisfied for the duration of the Line Sharing arrangement: (i) the Loop must consist of a copper loop compatible with an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable for shared-line deployment in accordance with FCC rules; (ii) Verizon must be providing simultaneous circuit-switched analog voice grade service to the Customer served by the Loop in question; (iii) the Verizon Customer’s dial tone must originate from a Verizon End Office Switch in the Wire Center where the Line Sharing arrangement is being requested; and (iv) the xDSL technology to be deployed by ICG on that Loop must not significantly degrade the performance of other services provided on that Loop. 4.3 Verizon shall make Line Sharing available to ICG at the rates set forth in the Pricing Attachment. In addition to the recurring and nonrecurring charges shown in the Pricing Attachment for Line Sharing itself, the following rates shown in the Pricing Attachment and in Verizon ’s applicable Tariffs are among those that may apply to a Line Sharing arrangement: (i) prequalification charges to determine whether a Loop is xDSL compatible (i.e., compatible with an xDSL service that is presumed to be acceptable for shared-line deployment in accordance with FCC rules); (ii) engineering query charges, engineering work order charges, or Loop conditioning (Digital Designed Loop) charges; (iii) charges associated with Collocation activities requested by ICG; and (iv) misdirected dispatch charges, charges for installation or repair, manual intervention surcharges, trouble isolation charges, and pair swap/line and station transfer charges. 4.4 The following ordering procedures shall apply to Line Sharing: 4.4.1 To determine whether a Loop qualifies for Line Sharing, the Loop must first be prequalified to determine if it is xDSL compatible. ICG must utilize the mechanized or manual Loop qualification processes described in the terms applicable to xDSL and Digital Designed Loops to make this determination. 4.4.2 ICG shall place orders for Line Sharing by delivering to Verizon a valid electronic transmittal service order or other mutually agreed upon type of service order. Such service order shall be provided in accordance with industry format and specifications or such format and specifications as may be agreed to by the Parties. 4.4.3 If the Loop is prequalified by ICG through the Loop prequalification database, and if a positive response is received and followed by receipt of ICG’s valid, accurate and pre-qualified service order for Line Sharing, Verizon will return an LSR confirmation within twenty-four
JOB SHARING North Bay; Perth-Huron; Peterborough, Victoria & Haliburton; Sarnia- Lambton Taking into consideration the fact that the Employer wishes to retain well- qualified staff who are unable or prefer not to provide a full-time commitment and the job-sharing can enable this to happen, the parties agree to the following provisions: (a) Job-sharing requests with regard to full-time positions shall be considered on an individual basis, and the Employer shall reserve the right to determine the appropriateness of such arrangements, including the number of job-shared positions after discussions with the Union at the Labour Management Committee. (b) Any incumbent full-time Nurse wishing to share their position may do so without having their half (½) of the position posted. The other half (½) of the job-sharing position will be posted, and selection will be in accordance with the Collective Agreement. (c) Save and except as provided for herein, all job-sharers shall be treated as part-time employees and shall receive percentage in lieu of benefits. (d) If one (1) of the job-sharers leaves the arrangement, their position will be posted. If there is no successful applicant to the position, the shared position must revert to a full-time position. The remaining Nurse will have the option of continuing the full-time position or reverting to a part-time position for which they are qualified. If they do not continue full-time, the position must be posted in accordance with the Collective Agreement. (e) Posted schedules for the job-sharers shall be based on the schedules that would apply to a full-time Nurse holding that position. Such schedule shall conform to the scheduling provisions for full- time. (f) Total hours worked by the two job-sharers shall be equal to one full- time position. The division of these hours over the schedule shall be determined by mutual agreement between the two Nurses and the immediate Supervisor. This does not exclude the Nurses from opportunities for extra available work. (g) Each job-sharer may exchange shifts with their partner, as well as with other Nurses in accordance with the Collective Agreement, provided such exchange creates no additional labour cost to the Employer and meets continuity requirements. (h) It is expected that both job-sharers will cover each other’s absences including incidental illnesses and vacation. If, because of unavoidable circumstances, one cannot cover the other, the Supervisor must be notified to book coverage. Job-sharers are not required to cover for their partners in the case or prolonged or extended absences but may be offered the opportunity to do so. (i) Job-sharers will not be required to work in total more paid holidays than would one full-time Nurse, unless mutually agreed otherwise. Job-sharers will have the right to determine which partner works the scheduled holidays. (j) Either party may discontinue the arrangement with one month’s written notice and the employees shall revert to their former status without posting if such positions are still available. 14.14 Christmas/New Year’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Haliburton
