Common use of System Status Management Clause in Contracts

System Status Management. A. The Employer is bound to response time commitments, and reserves the right to amend the unit deployment and staffing plans, to insure financial and contractual obligations. In reviewing deployment and staffing plans, the Employer may consider recommendations from the Labor Management Committee(s). Should it become necessary for the Employer to make changes to existing deployment and staffing plans, the Employer will notify the Union prior to making such changes. Prior to employee notification, the Employer shall meet with the Union when requested to do so to discuss the changes and negotiate the impacts of the changes. However, the decision to make such changes shall not be grievable with the exception of issues of seniority, and/or shift bidding. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement over the impact of the changes on the employees within a fourteen (14) day period, the Employer shall have the right to implement these changes and the resulting impact of these changes upon the expiration of the fourteen (14) day period without further consultation with the Union. B. Prior notice shall not be required if a change is made to meet Government declared emergency conditions but in no case shall a change to meet emergency conditions be continued for more than twenty-one (21) days without the required notice. If the system status plan significantly changes one or more unit’s shift or schedule, the Employer will conduct a countywide bid if requested by the Union.
