Common use of Shift Postings Clause in Contracts

Shift Postings. 16.01.1 All regular drivers’ shifts for each depot shall be posted on each depot’s posting board on March 1st and September 1st of each year. A copy of the driver shifts to be posted shall be provided to the Union no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to posting. The Employer shall notify the Union as soon as possible of any amendments to the bid after the Union has been provided an initial copy. The Employer will notify the Union of any additional bids required due to service needs or changes through the posting process. Driver shifts shall be posted for each depot and drivers shall bid according to the depot seniority list. The signup sheet will be posted for a minimum of five (5) working days before the first signature goes on to allow senior employees adequate time for the consideration of new shifts. The picking process will start the first Monday following the posting period each March and September. The posting will identify the start and ending times, the scheduled days off, the run number, and the expected configuration of the vehicle. The Employer reserves the right to change the vehicle configuration, and/or the substance of the run, based on operational need during the sign-up period. The Employer will attempt to create as many full time runs as possible. Drivers will sign up in order of seniority, based on the depot seniority list, for individual runs with shift start and end times. Sign up times will be designated by the Employer at all depots, and this schedule shall be posted. Should a driver miss their scheduled time to report, neglect to submit a selection sheet to the Employer or name a delegate to pick for them, the Union will make a selection for him or her at the employee’s designated selection time. In the event that there is no union representative available to make the shift selection in the designated time, the Employer will assign the shift which most closely resembles the shift they held prior to the new postings, and is available based on their seniority. 16.01.2 The changes in shifts will be effective on the first day of the new pay period immediately following completion of the shift posting sign up, and no later than six (6) weeks from the initial posting date.
