Common use of Compressed Work Schedule Clause in Contracts

Compressed Work Schedule. 26.01 A compressed work schedule will be implemented subject to the following terms and conditions. The preceding articles of this Agreement shall operate as specified hereafter for those members assigned to the Twelve Hour Shift. All other articles shall apply equally to all members. The amended articles are indicated in brackets in bold. Hours of Work: (a) The normal hours of work for members shall be ten and one half (10 1/2) hours per day, worked on two (2) consecutive day shifts followed by two (2) consecutive night shifts. Two (2) unpaid lunch periods of forty-five (45) minutes duration each will be allowed, subject to the exigencies of the service. One lunch period will be scheduled at approximately the mid-point of the first six (6) hours of the shift, the other at approximately the mid-point of the last six (6) hours. A ten (10) minute work break will be allowed in each period of six (6) hours. (8.01a) (b) Starting times shall be adjusted so that the night shift and day shift work an equal number of hours on the changeover to Daylight Saving from Standard Time and vice versa. (8.01b) (a) Due to the fact that under the 12-hours shift system, a member works an average of 42 hours per calendar week, a bank of 104 hours of "Accrued Time" is earned over the period of a year. This Accrued Time must be taken as time off by December 31. For the purpose of controlling the Accrued Time, the year shall be divided into quarters, with 26 hours to be taken as the time off in each quarter by agreement between the member and their supervisor. Any time not accounted for by the 15th of the third month in the quarter shall be taken off prior to the end of each quarter at a time designated by the supervisor and time so designated shall be in a minimum of four hour blocks. A member assigned to a training course of one week or more shall revert to a 7 hour per day, 35 hour week. (b) Members working twelve hour shifts shall not be permitted to exchange shifts such that they work double shifts (i.e. twenty four hours). Other voluntary exchanges of shifts shall be in accordance with Article 8.06. 26.04 For those members transferred at any time during the calendar year, the hours of accumulated time shall be calculated on an individual basis. 26.05 Members may voluntarily exchange shifts or days off member for member, subject to the exigencies of the service. The substitution in shifts for one another shall not exceed one double shift in a forty-eight (48) hour period. The reciprocal arrangement shall be approved by the Supervisor of each member, and approval does not include overtime pay for the other member's normal hours of work. The members shall be responsible towards each other for repayment of hours worked. Where a member reports sick, the original member shall be responsible to work their shift or find another substitute. Failing this, the original member shall owe and repay ten and one half (10 1/2) hours duty, not necessarily of the member's choice, within a thirty (30) day period. (8.06) Overtime: 26.06 A member may request time off in lieu of overtime pay at the rate of time and one- half (1 1/2), provided the maximum hours accumulated at one time shall not exceed forty-two (42) hours. Time taken shall be at a time approved by the Chief of Police and shall be cleared by November 30th in the current year. (9.02b) Designated Holidays: 26.07 A member who elects to take Statutory Holidays as time from duty shall have the number of days so elected converted to hours at the rate of seven (7) hours per Statutory Holiday, and shall be deducted at the rate of ten and one half (10 1/2) hours per shift. In accordance with Article 10.
