Shift Exchange Pool Sample Clauses

Shift Exchange Pool. The parties recognize that a shift exchange pool is an option to provide flexibility for regular employees. Shift exchanges are between a pool of employees (between two (2) and six (6) employees). It is expected that employees will continue to work their FTE. 1. Effective one hundred twenty (120) days post ratification, shift exchanges will be granted if regular employees: a. are on the same master work schedule, b. are within the same classification, and c. cover all shifts in the master work schedule; 2. All exchanged shifts fall within the defined quarterly periods: January 1 – March 31; April 1 – June 30; July 1 – September 30; October 1 – December 31. 3. Employees in the shift exchange pool must provide the Employer with a complete list of exchanged shifts at least fourteen (14) calendar days in advance of each quarterly period. 4. Employees will revert to the master work schedule at the end of each quarter unless another list of exchanged shifts is received. 5. The Employer’s regular staffing replacement process will apply if an exchanged shift becomes vacant. 6. The exchanged shift becomes part of an employee’s work schedule. However, the scheduling provisions pertaining to master work schedules and overtime relating to the shift exchange do not apply. 7. Where employees are exchanging unequal hours, accrual bank earnings, FTE, and pension contributions may be affected. 8. The Employer will not incur any additional costs as a result of the shift exchanges except for the nominal costs associated with processing these exchanges.
