Common use of Cross assignment Clause in Contracts

Cross assignment. When employees are asked to perform functions exclusively of another classification, or functions shared with another classification but rarely performed within their own classification, the following strategy will be used: 14.1.1 Management will seek appropriately trained volunteers within the clinic, shift and classification first; 14.1.2 If the function is not able to be performed by a volunteer, or a volunteer rescinds their decision (with at least five (5) days advance notice prior to the drafting period of the new schedule) and there is no other volunteer, Management will assign the function to the least senior, appropriately trained staff member within the clinic, shift and classification. 14.1.3 Assigning the function to an employee who has not volunteered will not be a long term substitution for seeking and training volunteers. Management will use reasonable effort to seek volunteers to train to perform the function while an assigned employee is performing the function.
