Common use of Voluntary Additional Hours Clause in Contracts

Voluntary Additional Hours. 10.01: If open and unfilled shifts exist in the schedule, the employer will first offer the open shifts to part-time employees based on seniority if working the shift(s) will not result in overtime. 10.02: If no eligible part-time employee under section 10.01 accepts the shift and/or the shift remains open, the employer shall offer the shift to on-call personnel. If the shift remains unfilled, the employer shall notify all qualified employees of the available shift. Thereafter, the employer shall have the right to assign mandatory overtime, in reverse order of seniority to any capable and qualified employee working the shift immediately preceding the mandatory shift at that house. Thereafter, the employer has the right to mandate overtime to any capable and qualified employee regardless of the house to which assigned in reverse order of seniority. 10.03: An employee with greater seniority shall have the right to bump a BUE with less seniority who has filled an open shift up to 72 hours prior to the shift, but not thereafter only if all shifts that have the same schedule for that day have been filled. For example, if there are four open 8am to 4:30pm shifts available on Monday. Until all four have been filled no bumping for that 8am to 4:30 shift can occur. 10.04: If an employee is assigned an extra shift, and thereafter not unassigned, shows up for work, and is not granted the shift or assigned to other work, they shall be paid for four (4) hours. 10.05: Within 72 hours, employees on the short notice list will be notified of available shifts by a call or text to an employee. If no response is received in ten (10) minutes the employee is considered notified. The most senior employee on the short notice list who communicates their desire to work the open shift within the 10- minute window shall be awarded the shift. The documentation of the attempts to fill shifts and the order in which those attempts were made shall be on the billing of company phones. Employees may place themselves on or take themselves off the short notice list quarterly by contacting the designated HR representative in writing. 10.06: If an employee is working their regular shift at their regularly assigned house the employer shall not direct that staff to another house and subsequently fill their shift with another employee unless necessary by participant staffing requirements. 10.07: All evening and overnight shifts shall be offered to bargaining unit employees prior to being offered or assigned to non-bargaining unit employees. This section shall be exempt for shifts that need to be filled immediately due to the start of the impending shift. 10.08: Any bargaining unit employee can request, in writing to HR, to be moved to the bottom of the call list for voluntary additional hours. The requesting bargaining unit employee will be moved to the bottom of the call list and remain there until they request in writing to HR to be returned to the seniority appropriate position on the list.
