Alternative Work Schedules. Alternative work schedule means an approved schedule for an Employee that deviates from the work week described in Section 1, Section 2, or a schedule that deviates from a worksite’s normal schedule. Employees who work a “shift work schedule” as part of a rotating group of individuals who must continuously maintain a 24-hour operation or facility are not eligible for an alternative work schedule.
Alternative Work Schedules. Employees may request alternative work schedules such as a nine (9) day - 80 hour two week schedule or a four (4) day - 40 hour week schedule. Management will respond to an employee's request within 15 calendar days. Any changes from existing work schedules will be based on the needs of the service as determined by Management. Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act will not be placed on alternate work schedules that mandate the payment of overtime under the Act.
Alternative Work Schedules. At the option of management or at the request of the unit member, an alternate work schedule may be established in accordance with the provisions below when such assignments are needed for the operation of the District, or if by reason of the work location and duties, the unit member's services are not required for a workweek of five
Alternative Work Schedules. An alternative work schedule is defined as a work schedule that requires a change, modification or waiver of certain provisions of this Agreement. Alternative work schedules not specified in this Agreement or Addendums hereto may be established by the Employer with the consent of the Union. Where work schedules other than a five (5) eight (8) hour day schedule are utilized, the Employer shall have the right to revert back to the five (5) eight (8) hour day schedule or the work schedule which was in effect immediately prior to the alternative work schedule, after sixty (60) days’ advance notice to the employees. No employee shall be required to work a schedule that includes six (6) days in a normal workweek, unless the employee volunteers to do so. Prior to implementation of a change in work schedule involving a unit or facility, the Employer will meet with the Union to discuss the contemplated change of schedule.
Alternative Work Schedules. The parties recognize the advantages of flexibility with regards to commencement/departure times when operational efficiency and cost effectiveness would not be adversely affected. To that end, the following alternative work schedules may be used:
Alternative Work Schedules and blended shift cycles may be mutually determined between the Employer and the Union and incorporated into this Agreement.
Alternative Work Schedules. Pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employees shall have a fixed workweek that consists of a regular recurring period of 168 consecutive hours (seven 24-hour periods) which can begin and end on any day of the week and at any time of the day. The designated workweek for an employee may be changed only if the change is intended to be permanent and not designed to evade overtime requirements of the FLSA. Management may assign employees to work a four/ten (4/10), five/forty (5/40), nine/eighty (9/80), or other work schedule. The Association will be entitled to consult with Management on the matter prior to the proposed action. The Association will also be entitled, upon request, to consult with Management if Management intends to deny a change in schedule to an employee. Management may require employees to change their work schedules (working hours or change days off, except the split day) within the same FLSA work week, providing that the change is not arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory. In the event Management’s actions are shown to be arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory before an arbitrator, the award of the arbitrator shall be to reverse the action of Management. However, the decision of the arbitrator shall be binding or advisory in accordance with Article 3.1. No employee shall be required to work a 4/10 schedule against his or her will. It is further agreed that Management shall retain the right to refuse an employee's request to work a 4/10, 9/80, or other work schedule, and to require the reversion to a 5/40 work schedule, provided that the exercise of such right is not arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory. In the event Management's actions are shown to be arbitrary, capricious, or discriminatory before an arbitrator, the award of the arbitrator shall be to reverse the action of Management. However, the decision of the arbitrator shall be binding or advisory in accordance with Article 3.1. Employees on a 9/80 modified work schedule shall have designated a regular day off (also known as 9/80 day off) which shall remain fixed. Temporary changes to the designated 9/80 day off at the request of Management or the employee are prohibited unless it is intended for the employee to work additional hours (overtime). Employees on a 4/10 work schedule shall work 10 hours per day for a four day work week (or 12 hours per day for a three day work week in the Information Technology Agency only) exclusive of lunch periods. Employees shall b...
Alternative Work Schedules. In addition to the workweek schedules of the Four-Ten Workweek listed in 5.3.2 (5.10.2) and the Nine-Day, Eighty Hour Schedule listed in 5.3.3 (5.10.3), other alternative schedules are allowable, subject to written mutual agreement of the unit member and her/his supervisor. Any such alternative workweek schedule shall not exceed forty (40) hours in any one week nor exceed ten (10) hours on any given day. As with all other alternative workweek schedules, time scheduled in excess of the mutually agreed upon number of hours per day within the workweek, or in excess of forty (40) hours per week, shall be subject to overtime compensation. All alternative work schedules are subject to final approval of the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources or his/her designee. Copies of said approval forms shall be sent to the AFT. An alternative workweek schedule created through this process of mutual agreement may be terminated by either the supervisor or the unit member by providing a fifteen (15) business day written notice to terminate to the other party. In such cases, the supervisor shall establish the unit member’s workweek schedule in accordance with the existing terms of the collective bargaining agreement.
Alternative Work Schedules. Section One. The State shall continue to implement and operate for employees in all agencies, AWS schedules; the degree of employee free choice and band-width may vary from agency to agency or subunit to subunit, but the preference shall be for maximum employee free choice where feasible. Any bargaining unit employee not otherwise exempted by agreement, or by action of the employer as set forth below, may participate in the available options. Employees whose salaries are currently below the (Article 16, Section 5 [d]) Overtime Cap may nevertheless participate in pure flextime, averaging and compressed workweek options to the same degree as those above the cap. Any such employee who voluntarily chooses such a schedule option, shall be allowed to work up to eighty (80) hours in any pay period before qualifying for paid overtime. This provision shall supersede relevant statutes in accordance with the provisions of the State Employee Relations Act, C.G.S. Section 5-278b.
Alternative Work Schedules. During the workweek in which a compensable holiday occurs, an employee who has an approved work schedule other than a five (5) day, eight (8)-hour work schedule shall revert to a five (5) day, eight (8)-hour work schedule for that week only. For person working an alternative work schedule, during a week where a recognized holiday occurs, in lieu of returning to a regular five (5) day, eight (8)-hour work schedule, an employee may use accrued vacation leave, personal business leave, leave without pay or comp time to cover hours beyond the eight (8) hours of holiday leave. The alternative is for the employee working an alternative schedule to adjust the workweek schedule to accommodate a forty (40)-hour work schedule.
