Common use of Alternative Work Schedule Clause in Contracts

Alternative Work Schedule. At the discretion of the Department Head, the City agrees to allow some modifications to departmental work schedules for 40 hour work week employees, so long as the current level of service is delivered. This could be implemented on a trial basis, and may include 9-80 schedules or 4-10 schedules. If at any time during the trial period of an alternative work schedule it becomes apparent that demonstrable impacts of the plan are not in the best interests of the City, or the safety and welfare of the residents thereof, or the health, safety and welfare of the employees assigned there to, and parties to this Memorandum of Understanding do hereby agree, at the request of either party, to meet and confer at the earliest time possible in an effort to reach concurrence for an equitable and reasonable resolution of any work schedule impacts demonstrably adverse to said interests of the City, the residents thereof, or the employees involved. Said adverse impacts may include, but are not limited to, problems associated with: declining productivity; staffing shortages; overtime costs; budget reductions; sick leave usage; accidents and injuries attributed to fatigue; significant increase in errors and/or accuracy; or applicable changes to State or Federal regulations affecting any operational premises upon which the alternative work schedule is based. In the absence of equitable and reasonable solutions for the resolve of adverse impacts attributed to the alternative work schedule, or in the event the parties hereto fail to reach concurrence for the resolve of same within a reasonable period of time, then, and in that event, the City shall declare the trial period terminated and provide each employee involved in the alternate work schedule written notice of the effective termination date. Immediately upon termination of the alternate plan, work schedules will automatically revert to the previous scheduling. (Resolution 18-2015)
