Common use of Employee Availability Clause in Contracts

Employee Availability. Only employees who restrict to thirty-two (32) or fewer hours per week shall have the option of submitting an Availability Form. Employees who submit an Availability Form declaring the times and/or days they are available to work, must be available to work one (1) late shift per week and also have open availability on either Saturday or Sunday. Employees who restrict their hours to less than sixteen (16) hours per week must be available to work Saturday and Sunday. Eligible employees who restrict their availability shall sign an availability form so advising the Employer. The availability form is to be sent to the Union upon request. Such employee shall forfeit their right to claim any hours in excess of the number of hours to which they have restricted themselves. When reductions in hours occur, the junior employee, whether or not they are of restricted status, shall be reduced first. If an employee wishes to end their restricted status, the employee shall advise the Employer in writing on the availability form. The employee's full seniority rights shall begin from the date they advise the Employer of their full availability. Employees may change their availability to a maximum of five (5) times per calendar year. Lifting their restriction to full availability does not count as one of the five (5) changes. Employees shall be required to work within their Restriction of Availability and may lose hours as a result. This means if a shift falls outside of an employee’s availability it shall not be subject to claim. If sufficient employees are not available to work on any day, the Employer may deny further requests to restrict such day(s). Requests to restrict will not be unreasonably denied.
