Common use of Compressed Hours of Work Clause in Contracts

Compressed Hours of Work. Definition: A compressed hours of work schedule is one in which a bargaining unit employee works more than the normal seven (7) hours each day, but fewer than ten (10) days in a bi­ weekly pay period. It will normally take the form of nine (9) workdays in a pay period, but in unusual circumstances compressed hours may be approved in alternative forms. Compressed hours are not intended for "intermittent" use only, i.e. they are to be a semi­ permanent arrangement. Eligibility: Any bargaining unit employee may request permission to adopt a compressed hours of work schedule. The foremost consideration in approving/denying applications to work compressed hours shall always be customer service. Customers include (but are not limited to) students, suppliers, other agencies and other UNBC departments. Where customer service would be negatively impacted, compressed hours will not be approved. There must be no additional costs incurred by the University as a result of implementing a compressed work schedule. Where operational requirements are such that compressed hours cannot be implemented on a year-round basis, consideration may be given to approving them for specific periods only (e.g. during summer months). Implementation: When approved, compressed work schedules shall be implemented on a trial basis for up to a three (3) month period. Should the trial prove successful, the arrangement may be continued for an indeterminate period. Thereafter, the University and/or the employee may give notice of a desire to return to a regular work schedule. Application Process: A bargaining unit employee who is interested in working a compressed schedule shall indicate so in writing to their supervisor with a copy to the Director of Human Resources. The employee and their supervisor shall meet to discuss the application and the Collective Agreement July OJ, 2019-June30, 0000 supervisor shall respond in writing either approving or denying the request. Copies of the application and response will be retained on the employee's personnel file.
