Alternate Workweek Clause Samples
The Alternate Workweek clause establishes a work schedule that differs from the standard five-day, eight-hour-per-day arrangement, typically allowing employees to work longer shifts over fewer days. For example, employees might work four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour days, provided the arrangement complies with applicable labor laws and is approved by a majority of affected employees. This clause provides flexibility for both employers and employees, helping to accommodate operational needs or personal preferences while ensuring compliance with wage and hour regulations.
Alternate Workweek. Work weeks of hours different than work weeks in Section 9.1 above, may be established by the Employer in order to meet business and/or customer service needs, as long as the alternate work schedule complies with federal and state laws. The Employer will provide a thirty (30) days’ written notice to the affected employee(s) and the Union prior to implementing an alternate work week, not to include Relief Dispatchers. Individual employee requests for an alternate workweek or other flextime schedule must have written approval of the Employer and will be communicated in writing to the Union before implementation. Any schedule implemented via this Section may be discontinued by the Employer upon thirty (30) days written notification to the affected employee(s) and the Union, unless the employee(s) agree to an earlier change in writing.
Alternate Workweek. Despite the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the District may modify the thirty-seven and one-half (37.5) hour workweek to a four (4) consecutive day basis, provided that the District certifies that the modification is likely to provide significant energy savings for the District and its employees. The regular workday in this case will be 9.375 hours, including two rest periods of fifteen (15) minutes each. No employee shall receive less compensation, vacation, holidays, seniority, or any other benefit that he or she would have received while working under the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2; however, overtime payment will be made only if the assignment exceeds the regular workday as defined herein. Management will inform the Union in advance if any trial program is contemplated with regard to the four-day week.
Alternate Workweek. When an Alternate Workweek Program is put forward by a Department or requested by the Union, the State, through the Governor's Office of Employee Relations and the Union, shall meet to discuss the parameters of such a program. If the parties agree to proceed with an alternate workweek program in a particular Department or division within a Department, the State recognizes its obligation under the New Jersey Employer-Employee Relations Act to negotiate on negotiable terms and conditions of employment. The parties equally recognize that certain subjects within an alternate workweek program are preempted by Statute and/or regulations from negotiations. Any agreement the parties may reach as to an alternate workweek program must be approved by the Department of Personnel as per their jurisdiction under N.J.S.A. 11A, et seq. The State will provide the Union with the following information on tape provided by the Union:
