Common use of Shift Scheduling Clause in Contracts

Shift Scheduling. The scheduled hours of work of any day as set forth in a work schedule, may exceed or be less than the regular workday hours. (a) Local PSAC representatives may present an alternative or modified shift schedule to local NAV CANADA representatives for consideration. (b) If the alternative or modified shift schedule is not accepted by NAV CANADA, NAV CANADA shall so advise the local PSAC representative in writing providing the reasons. (c) In the case of sub paragraph (b) above, the matter may be referred by either party to the national level of NAV CANADA and UCTE for further consideration. (d) If under this paragraph an alternative or modified shift schedule is developed following consultation at the local or national level and a trial period is established, the shift schedule shall be reviewed by the parties at the local or national level, whichever is the case, at the end of the trial period to determine whether or not the alternative or modified shift schedule will be continued. (e) Notwithstanding sub paragraph (d) above and in consideration of operational requirements which may change from time to time, NAV CANADA reserves the right to discontinue the alternative shift schedule or the modified shift schedule, and return to the original shift schedule upon 30 days’ notice to the PSAC in writing providing the reasons.
