Common use of Minimum Work Week Clause in Contracts

Minimum Work Week. All TFW Employees shall be scheduled by seniority for at least the minimum number of hours required pursuant to their TFW Contract, and no less than thirty (30) hours and no greater than sixty (60) hours per week. If the Employer does not schedule TFW Employees for this minimum requirement, the TFW Employee will still be paid for the minimum number of hours required by the TFW Contract. TFW Employees may be scheduled for up to six (6) days of work per week in accordance with their TFW Contracts. All Employees who are not TFW Employees will be scheduled based on availability of work and in accordance with their seniority for their position. Employees shall be scheduled based on their job classifications as outlined in APPENDIX B. Employees may request an alternative schedule to the hours schedule, and this alternative schedule may be approved by the Employer subject to operational needs. For Non-Agricultural workers, Employees will be scheduled for up to forty (40) hours per week unless the Employee and the Employer have mutually agreed that the Employee will only be available on a reduced-hours basis, in which case those Employees will be scheduled up to the maximum number of hours it has been agreed they will be available each week. If there is insufficient work to provide all Non-Agricultural Employees with forty (40) hours per week (or the maximum number of hours agreed upon by the Employee and Employer) then the Employer shall schedule hours on the basis of seniority, subject to the Employee being qualified to perform the work and shift scheduling requirements. Agricultural Workers may be scheduled up to six (6) days per week subject to harvesting requirements.
