Maximizing Hours Sample Clauses
The Maximizing Hours clause sets a framework for utilizing the maximum allowable number of work hours under a contract or agreement. In practice, this clause may specify the upper limit of billable or scheduled hours for a project, and outline procedures for requesting or approving additional hours if needed. Its core function is to ensure that both parties are clear on the maximum time commitment, helping to control costs and manage expectations regarding workload and compensation.
Maximizing Hours. In order to maximize regular hours of work and upon mutual agreement between an employee and his/her supervisor, an employee who is not scheduled to work eight (8) hours in a day or forty-four (44) hours in a week may be scheduled to work extra hours at the employee’s regular rate of pay. Employees will indicate their interest in working these extra hours up to eight (8) hours in a day or forty-four (44) hours in a week on their Personal Priority Form (“PPF”). When the Company requires additional hours of work it will offer to maximize the hours to employees within a job classification first, then within a department, before hours are maximized for other qualified employees.
Maximizing Hours. (a) The employer will do everything reasonable possible to assign shifts and maximize hours in order of seniority.
(b) Subject to sub-section (c) below, employees will not be laid off or continue on layoff while employees with less seniority are working.
(c) In exceptional circumstances, where a project ends while a different project at another job site continues, an employee may be laid off out-of-line of seniority if one of the following circumstances prevails:
(i) The Customer requires an induction or some other form of training pertinent to that job site and the customer would object to a displacement because the more senior employee would require such training or induction.
(ii) The less senior employee is a “name request” under article 17.06(b) or the senior employee concerned is an “excluded” employee under 17.06(c) and the intent of these sections are maintained. In any event, following four (4) days of layoff, such employee will be recalled to a job at not less than his normal rate of pay and will be scheduled no less than the maximum number of hours worked by that employee(s) that he would otherwise have been eligible to displace. Upon request, the Employer shall provide proof to the Union to substantiate the legitimacy of the circumstances in sub-section (i) or (ii) above, denying the right of the more senior employee to bump.
Maximizing Hours. It is understood that, notwithstanding Article 14.06, if an Employee is to be away for a known continuous period of one (1) week or more, the Employee's schedule, or any individual shifts in that schedule, shall be offered to other Employees in order of seniority provided that no overtime results from the voluntary change.
Maximizing Hours. If at all possible, a full-time employee may elect to bump the most junior part-time employee if that would allow for them to maintain a maximized work week and prevent the displacement of another full-time employee.
