Scheduling/Shift Bidding Sample Clauses

The Scheduling/Shift Bidding clause establishes the process by which employees select or are assigned work shifts based on availability, seniority, or other criteria set by the employer. Typically, this clause outlines the method for submitting shift preferences, the timeline for bidding, and how conflicts or overlapping requests are resolved—often prioritizing employees with greater seniority or specific qualifications. Its core function is to ensure a fair and transparent system for allocating work schedules, reducing disputes and promoting workplace satisfaction by clarifying how shifts are distributed.
Scheduling/Shift Bidding. The City shall establish and post the available regular shifts for bid by bargaining unit members. Said schedule shall indicate the schedule assigned for any special assignments, e.g., investigator, School Resource Officer, etc. Each year non- probationary employees not on special assignment shall select in order of seniority within each classification (i.e., classification seniority) an available shift that shall include the regular hours worked and days off. The initial Shift Bidding shall take place within thirty (30) days after the execution of this agreement. Thereafter shift bidding shall take place during the month of November for implementation of the schedule the first full pay period the following January. Probationary employees are subject to shift assignment by the Chief.

Scheduling/Shift Bidding. SECTION 1: The EMPLOYER shall establish and post shift requirements (work hours and work days) and shift rotations for the upcoming twelve-month period no later than August of each year. SECTION 2: Work schedules for all non-probationary employees will be posted at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance. SECTION 3: During the month of September each year, employees shall bid shifts, for the twelve-month period beginning on the first Sunday in January. Employees shall be eligible to bid on shifts provided they have completed their first year of employment and are off probation. The schedule set by Management will affect bidding as follows: 1. If management elects a fixed, non-rotating schedule, employees will bid by seniority; 2. If management elects a rotating schedule, employees will bid by seniority for the point in the rotation where they will start their new schedule. Should a vacancy occur in any bargaining unit position, employees in the same job classification as the terminating employee may bid on that shift by seniority. If no employee bids on a vacant shift, the EMPLOYER may: (a) fill the shift through a promotional opportunity, if applicable, (b) assign a new employee to that shift (provided the employee has completed minimum training requirements), or (c) re-assign an existing employee to cover the vacancy. SECTION 4: The EMPLOYER reserves the right to deviate from the above shift bidding provisions in order to balance experience requirements or in response to staffing shortages or other legitimate staffing needs. The EMPLOYER shall post any such changes within 14 calendar days after employees bid shifts under section 3 above. SECTION 5: Employees shall be given at least thirty (30) calendar days’ notice of any changes to shift requirements and shift rotations, as outlined in section 1 of this article. This requirement does not apply in emergency situations, including staff shortages caused by unanticipated vacancies. SECTION 6: The EMPLOYER may make temporary shift assignments for up to three (3) months without opening the shift assignment for bid by seniority.
