Common use of Posted Work Schedule Clause in Contracts

Posted Work Schedule. Work schedules showing the employee’s shifts, work days and hours shall be posted on bulletin boards in the respective department at least fourteen (14) days in advance. Posted work schedules shall not be changed in less than 14 days without consultation between the Employer and the employees affected unless an emergency is declared by the Department Head. Examples of an emergency includes flood, tornado, ice storm and other catastrophic events. An emergency may be declared either orally or in writing by the Department Head. An emergency that is orally declared by the Department Head will be reduced to writing as soon as practically possible. Any changes in the work schedule shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Employees must be notified at least one (1) hour in advance of the shift that an emergency situation exists to avoid payment of reporting time. If an employee is not notified and reports for work and the shift is changed, a minimum of two (2) hours work or pay shall be received, and counted as regular hours worked for purposes of computing overtime. A telephone call to the residence of the employee or to such other telephone number provided by the employee shall be construed as proper notification.
