SHIFT PICKS Clause Samples
The SHIFT PICKS clause establishes the process by which employees select or are assigned work shifts. Typically, this clause outlines the order of selection, eligibility criteria, and any rotation or seniority systems that determine how shifts are distributed among staff. For example, it may specify that more senior employees have first choice of available shifts, or that shift selection rotates on a weekly basis. The core function of this clause is to ensure a fair and transparent method for allocating work shifts, thereby reducing disputes and promoting workplace equity.

A minimum of at least one week notification will be made prior to the commencement of new shifts, which transition would begin for all employees on beginning of the next pay period following January 1st and July 1st.

SHIFT PICKS. The Employer will target providing the Union Committee with all the department’s individual schedules including full-time and identified part-time shifts by August 15th of each year and the Union agrees to target completing the shift picks for all departments by October 3rd of each year. If for any reason the provision of the individual schedules to the Union is delayed then the completion date by the Union will be extended by the same period as the delay. As with 15.01, this shall not be construed as a guarantee of any minimum hours. The Union will hold a shift pick for each department. This will be done in September of each year. Once approved, this new schedule will take effect the first Friday of the new pay week after January 1 of the following year. The shift pick process will work in the following manner:
(a) Schedules provided by the departments will include shifts for full-time and identified shifts for part-time employees. These shifts will then be picked by seniority by classification.
(b) Full-time employees, in seniority order, will select a shift package from those available. Employees who do not make a selection may have a shift selected / assigned for them. Other full-time shifts that come available following the shift bid will be posted as required in accordance with Article 19.05.
(c) Part-time employees, in seniority order, will select shift(s) or a core shift package from those available. Core shifts are defined as three (3) regularly scheduled shifts in one (1) week, and will require the employee to work only those three (3) shifts unless the Company is notified that the employee would accept extra shifts. Core shifts are not a guarantee of hours. For clarification, “three (3) regularly scheduled shifts” is defined as three (3) shifts each week on the same days of the week with the same start times each week. Part-time employees, for whom there are no core shifts, will be required to pick a preferred time slot based on seniority and availability (i.e.: Days, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Nights). Part-time core shifts that come available following the shift bid will be assigned as required in accordance with the job posting provisions under Article 20.
