This conference may be conducted in person or by telephone. During the conference, the employee and the supervisor shall develop a tentative work schedule for the following week.

In addition, requests by employees to change their weekly work schedules shall not be arbitrarily denied. By mutual agreement, the Employer and the employee may alter work schedules during the course of the workweek for the purpose of avoiding overtime. Employees’ subject to the provisions of this section, if required by their direct supervisor, shall contact their supervisors, or designees, by email or telephone, to advise them of their proposed work schedules for that day and of the total number of hours worked the previous day. Supervisors may approve the proposed schedules or advise employees of any necessary changes.

Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of this Agreement, the Employer shall provide to employees a list of names and telephone numbers of supervisors and designees to be contacted pursuant to this Section. Changes to this list will be circulated to all employees.
