Common use of Winter Term Clause in Contracts

Winter Term. During the January Winter Term, a significant reduction in the number of student residents on campus usually requires an adjustment in dining hall operations. Employees selected to work during the Winter Term shall be selected on the basis of seniority within the Classification. Employees may either accept or decline this offer of work. Every effort shall be made to reassign other food service personnel to open dining halls. Winter term assignments may require a reduction in work week and a change in the type of work assignment. Voluntary layoffs may occur by seniority. In no event, however, will assignments during winter term cause the hourly rate to be changed or the work week reduced below four-fifths (4/5ths) of an employee's normal weekly schedule (excluding coverage for employee requested time off and call offs) unless mutually acceptable to the employee, the union, and the College. When the College posts and fills the 11- month CDS positions, this section will be deleted from the contract.
