Full Shift Assignment. 1) The normal workday shall be 12.5 hours when “on shift” and 8 hours when “off shift” and the normal schedule shall consist of a forty-two (42) day cycle as per the following example: Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. * indicates all overtime at double time rate Both Parties recognize that an exchange of information is required on shift turnover and that the time required for this exchange of information does not qualify for payment and is expected to take place during the overlap provided by the 12.5 hour shift. 2) The hours of work shall be:  07:30 hours to 20:00 hours, designated as day shift (D); and,  19:30 hours to 08:00 hours, designated as night shift (N); and,  08:00 hours to 16:00 hours with a 30-minute paid lunch break when designated as shift (O). Normal hours for the “O” week may also include 12.5 hour shifts as per section iii) below 3) The Master Work Schedule for each year will include each shift worker’s scheduled workdays and shifts for each “O” week. The hours of work that may be scheduled for a shift worker during their “O” week shall include one of the following:  Monday to Friday – five (5) eight (8) hour shifts following non-shift assignment hours; or,  Three (3) twelve and one-half (12.5) hour day shifts scheduled consecutively on or between Monday and Thursday for which the employee will be paid forty (40) hours; or  Three (3) twelve and one-half (12.5) hour night shifts scheduled consecutively on or between Tuesday and Friday for which the employee will be paid forty (40) hours. However, during one of the six week cycles in July and August, each shift worker will be scheduled to work five (5) days following non-shift assignment hours, Monday to Friday. During this period, they may only be varied to three 12.5 hour shifts (as described above), if the Employer has not been able to meet overtime requirements from crews who are on time off. If an employee is scheduled to work on a statutory holiday during their “O” week, they will either be given the day off with eight (8) hours pay at their normal hourly rate or they may be required to work their scheduled hours. If an employee who was scheduled to work a 12.5 hour shift on a statutory holiday is given the time off, they will be required to use banked time, vacation or unpaid time to cover the additional 4.5 scheduled hours. If an employee is scheduled to work on a statutory holiday during their “O” week, the scheduled hours (8 or 12.5) worked will be paid at double their normal hourly rate and in addition they will receive eight (8) hours pay at their normal hourly rate. When employees are varied during the sixth week of their schedule (“O” week), the Employer will provide 10 days notice and the employee will be paid their normal hourly rate. If 10 days notice is not provided, the first shift of the three days that are varied will be paid at overtime rates. If the variance is to a day shift, the rate will be time and one half the employee’s normal rate and if it is to a night shift, it will be double the employee’s normal hourly rate. The remainder of the variance will be paid at the employee’s normal hourly rate. No notice will be required when a variance is due to an unplanned unit outage. During the other five weeks in their schedule and for an unplanned unit outage at any time, normal variance rules will apply. Individuals requesting banked time off during their “O” week will follow the normal rules for banked time as per article 10 of the agreement. 4) When an employee is absent due to banked time off, response team leave or vacation, they will record their absence as 12 hours, not 12.5 hours for the purpose of recording the absence and removing the time from their bank or vacation entitlement. 5) The Employer may change the start time of employees on full shift assignment by up to one hour (i.e., within a window between 07:00 and 08:00 hrs or 19:00 and 20:00 hrs) with 25 days written notice to affected employees. When this change in start time is made, the new hours of work will be the employee’s “normal” hours of work. 6) Double time rate shall be paid for all overtime worked on the days indicated by (*) as illustrated above. All other overtime worked between 07:30 hours and 22:00 hrs Monday through Friday shall be paid at time and one-half. However, when the start time of the shift is changed as in (v) above, the window for time and one-half vs. double time overtime will change as well. For example, if the start time is changed to 07:00 hrs, overtime will be paid at time and one-half for all overtime hours worked between 07:00 hrs and 21:30 hrs and double time will be paid for all overtime hours worked between 21:30 hrs and 07:00 hrs. 7) If an employee is sick during their entire period of nine (9) consecutive days off, so that the vacation credits built into the shift cannot be used, then they will be credited with ten
