Requests for Shift Preferences Clause Samples

The "Requests for Shift Preferences" clause establishes a process by which employees can indicate their preferred work shifts. Typically, this involves submitting requests to management within a specified timeframe or through a designated system, and may include guidelines on how preferences are prioritized or considered. The core function of this clause is to provide a structured way for employees to communicate their scheduling needs, helping to balance individual preferences with operational requirements and promoting fairness in shift assignments.

Requests for Shift Preferences. All applications for a shift preference must be submitted in writing to the applying employee's immediate supervisor within the application period set forth below. Thereafter, the Employer will post on the bulletin board the contemplated changes resulting from the submitted requests and such changes will go into effect on the date indicated by the following schedule: Effective February 15 through March 1 March 15 Start of First Pay Period in April. August 15 through September 1 September 15 Start of First Pay Period in October.

The parties recognize, however, that this goal cannot always be accomplished. Accordingly, if implementation of a shift preference would require an employee to work sixteen (16) hours consecutively, the employee requesting the shift change will be the individual selected to work the "back-to-back" shifts. The Employer shall not be liable for overtime premium pay under Section 13.6 of this Agreement as a result of its implementation of shift preference requests.
