Changes to Shift Assignment Schedules. Where Shift Assignment Schedules are regularly and routinely used, changes to such schedules shall be posted at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the effective date of the change. A newly-posted assignment schedule will generally not be changed within fourteen (14) calendar days unless such action becomes necessary to satisfy unexpected operational needs (e.g. unanticipated reduction in the number of personnel available for assignment due to resignations, terminations, emergency leaves, major illness or serious injury). An employee's new work week begins when the employee starts a newly assigned schedule. If the new schedule includes work day(s) that are one or both of the consecutive day(s) of the employee’s former schedule, the employee will receive Shift Change overtime compensation for hours worked on the day(s) of the new schedule that were the day(s) of rest on their former schedule. The employee is only eligible to receive Shift Change overtime compensation for working one or both of the first two consecutive day(s) on the new schedule that are the same days as the previous schedule’s day(s) of rest. An employee is not eligible for Shift Change compensation after the first full work week of the new schedule. A violation of this provision is grievable. Section 1( A)(4) is not applicable: a. The first time the employee’s shift schedule is changed in a calendar year as a result of the regularly scheduled annual shift change. b. When an employee begins a new shift schedule as a result of movement made pursuant to an internal affairs investigation where the employee is the subject of the investigation. c. When a shift schedule change occurs as a result of the employee’s request.
