Part-time Declaration of Availability Clause Samples

Part-time Declaration of Availability. Part-time employees will be required to declare their availability upon being hired. Any part-time employee can change their availability up to four (4X) times per year by obtaining a new availability form from their Store Manager and submitting it prior to the following effective dates: (i) The first Sunday in September (with a two (2) week leeway before and after); (ii) Three (3) other times in the calendar year. Changes in availability must be submitted two (2) weeks prior to the Sunday of the week of the effective date of the change. A part-time employee who fails to provide the Co- operative with a completed availability form prior to the above dates will be scheduled according to their previous availability form. The Co-operative shall allow the Union to review and photocopy completed availability forms at store level upon request. An unrestricted part-time employee may occasionally request one (1) or two (2) specific days off in a week without a reduction in hours, provided that other hours are available and the employee is otherwise eligible to work those hours under the provisions of this Collective Agreement. Such employee may be required to work on days that they are not normally available to maintain their hours. The Co-operative will have no obligation to grant a request for days off, or maintain the employee’s hours, if the request is made after the schedule is posted. (a) Vacancies and new positions shall be filled on the basis of merit, ability and seniority; where merit and ability are comparable and sufficient, the senior applicant will be selected.
