Four on, Two off Schedule In an effort to maximize full-time employment opportunities, the local parties may agree to a “four on, two off” innovative schedule, subject to the following principles:
(a) The introduction of such schedules and trial periods, if any, shall be determined by the local parties. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part- time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.
(b) The implementation of such schedules shall be established only by mutual agreement of the Employer and the Union.
(c) Notwithstanding the definition for full-time employee under Article 2.02, employees who participate in this schedule will normally be scheduled for thirty-five (35) hours per week on average and will be considered a full- time employee for all purposes of the collective agreement.
i) Notwithstanding Article 16.01, for the purposes of bi-weekly overtime, the normal weekly full-time hours shall remain at seventy-five (75) hours per bi-weekly average over a six (6) week period. In each bi-weekly pay period the employee will be paid for all hours worked. At the end of the six (6) week period, entitlement for bi-weekly overtime will be calculated and paid.
ii) Notwithstanding Article 16.01, for the purposes of daily overtime, the normal daily hours shall remain at seven and a half (7.5) hours per day. In each bi-weekly pay period the employee will be paid for all hours worked including daily overtime, if any.
(e) For the purposes of vacation entitlement, the current collective agreement provisions shall apply using thirty-five (35) hours per week.
(f) Each facility/unit must have eighty percent (80%) agreement of the full- time and part-time employees who work in the facility/unit.
(g) The Four on, Two off schedule, may be discontinued by either party upon receipt of twelve (12) weeks’ notice to the other in writing of its desire to terminate. A meeting shall be held within two (2) weeks of receipt of such notice to discuss the reasons for the discontinuation. The Four on, Two off schedule, may be discontinued by the Union in any facility/unit when sixty percent (60%) of the employees in the facility/unit so indicate by secret ballot to the Union.

Each such list of additional wire centers shall be considered a Subsequent Wire Center List. AT&T will follow any limitations on the frequency with which it may issue such lists and notification procedures set forth in applicable Commission orders.
5.4.6.2 TWTC shall have thirty (30) business days to dispute the additional wire centers listed on AT&T’s CNL. Absent such dispute, effective thirty (30) business days after the date of a AT&T CNL providing a Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T shall not be required to provide DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport, as applicable, in such additional wire center(s), except pursuant to the self-certification process as set forth in Section 1.9.1 of this Attachment.
5.4.6.3 For purposes of Section 5.4.6.1 above, AT&T shall make available DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport that were in service for TWTC in a wire center on the Subsequent Wire Center List as of the thirtieth (30th) business day after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Embedded Base) until one hundred eighty (180) days after the thirtieth (30th) business day Version: 4Q06 Standard ICA 11/30/06 from the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List (Subsequent Transition Period).
5.4.6.4 The rates set forth in Exhibit B shall apply to the Subsequent Embedded Base during the Subsequent Transition Period.
5.4.6.5 No later than one hundred eighty (180) days from AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, TWTC shall submit an LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) as applicable, identifying the Subsequent Embedded Base of circuits to be disconnected or converted to other AT&T services.

Conversions will be subject to the switch-as-is charge set forth in Exhibit A to this Attachment 2.
5.4.6.5.3 AT&T shall not impose disconnect or nonrecurring installation charges when transitioning the Subsequent Embedded Base of DS1 and DS3 Dedicated Transport in existence as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
5.4.6.6 If TWTC fails to submit the LSR(s) or spreadsheet(s) for all of its Subsequent Embedded Base by one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of AT&T’s CNL identifying the Subsequent Wire Center List, AT&T will identify TWTC’s remaining Subsequent Embedded Base, if any, and will transition such circuits to the equivalent tariffed AT&T service(s), or in the case of Georgia, to the equivalent 271 service(s) set forth in Exhibit 1. In the states of Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable disconnect charges as set forth in this Agreement and the full nonrecurring charges for installation of the equivalent tariffed AT&T service as set forth in AT&T’s tariffs. In the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, those circuits identified and transitioned by AT&T shall be subject to the applicable switch-as-is rates set forth in Exhibit A of Attachment
Scheduled RDOs on Designated Long Weekends It is recognised that there is merit in programming no work on the RDOs adjacent to public holiday weekends during the working year. This will allow Employees to have quality paid family leisure time.
Christmas Closedown 15.1 It is agreed that whenever annual leave is taken in conjunction with the Christmas/New Year period (as per Calendar in sub-clause 2.11), it is to be taken in accordance with the following procedure.
15.2 Employees who have not accrued sufficient pro rata annual leave prior to commencement of the Christmas/New Year period, may be granted leave without pay by their Employer to give that employee at least the minimum leave of absence required.
15.3 Where the Employer decides to close a site over the Christmas/New Year period for any period in excess of the agreed minimum closedown, up to and including 20 Annual Leave days, then the Employer shall give at least 2 months’ notice to employees as per the relevant Award. Employees who have no, or insufficient, accrued annual leave equal to the period of the closure, may be granted leave without pay for that period.
15.4 Notwithstanding anything elsewhere contained in this Agreement, the Employer may require any employee to work in unforeseen or emergency circumstances during the Christmas period.
15.5 Where an employee requests that annual leave be allowed in one continuous period at Christmas, such a request shall not be unreasonably refused.
15.6 It is a breach of this Agreement and the Award for an employee to be paid his/her full accrual, or part thereof, of annual leave at Christmas or any other time, unless that employee takes such annual leave or his/her employment is terminated. Employment is not to be terminated for reasons of avoidance of this clause.
