Common use of Compressed Work Schedules Clause in Contracts

Compressed Work Schedules. A. Subject to applicable statutes and supervisory approval, employees may elect to work under “5/4-9” or “4/10” models of CWS. Under the 5/4-9 program, employees are scheduled to work 9 hours per day for 8 days and 8 hours for 1 day (excluding the lunch period), with 1 day off every pay period. Under the 4/10 program, eligible employees are scheduled to work for ten (10) hours per day for four (4) days each week, with one (1)day off every week. The EMPLOYER may, for business reasons, exclude certain positions from participating in the 4/10 program. B. Within the EMPLOYER’s mission, staffing and workload requirements, the employee shall be allowed to select the day off and/or 8-hour day (for a 5/4-9 schedule) he or she wishes to have. C. The EMPLOYER may occasionally require an employee to deviate from a fixed work schedule because of a particular work assignment or a particular assignment at a financial institution. D. Employees may work no later than 6:00 p.m. under a 5/4-9 schedule or 7:00 p.m. under a 4/10 schedule. E. The EMPLOYER may reschedule an off-day because of mission, staffing or workload requirements, or based on an employee’s request when consistent with mission, staffing and workload requirements. Except in the case of unforeseen contingencies, an employee will not be expected to forego a scheduled day off. If the employee must forego such day off, he or she will be compensated under the provisions of Article 28, (Other Leave Provisions), or Article 29, (Overtime and Compensatory Time), of this Agreement as appropriate. F. Employees on a 5/4-9 or 4/10 CWS are entitled to basic pay for the number of hours of the CWS that fall on a holiday. 1. When a legal holiday falls on a scheduled workday, the employee will be excused with pay and without charge to leave for the number of hours scheduled to be worked that day. 2. When a legal holiday falls on a scheduled day off, a full-time employee is entitled to an in-lieu of holiday. An in-lieu of holiday is the same as a legal public holiday for pay and leave purposes. The number of hours of paid holiday leave granted on an in-lieu of holiday is the number of hours the employee would otherwise have worked that day. 3. The in-lieu of holiday for a full-time employee is determined as follows: a. When the holiday is on a Sunday, the next workday is the in-lieu of holiday. Holidays that can occur on a Sunday are “date certain,” i.e., January 1, New Year’s Day; July 4, Independence Day; November 11, Veterans Day; and December 25, Christmas. b. When a holiday is not on a Sunday, the preceding workday is the in-lieu of holiday. 4. A part-time employee is not entitled to an in-lieu of holiday if the holiday falls on a nonworkday. G. The scheduled 8-hour day shall fall on the same day each pay period. H. Overtime and compensatory time in-lieu of overtime can only be earned for work in excess of those hours which constitute the basic work requirement of the 5/4/9 or 4/10 CWS. I. Overtime for working on a scheduled day off must be approved in advance by the EMPLOYER. ▇. A change in the scheduled hours of work may be requested and will be approved by the EMPLOYER with notification of such change submitted with the Biweekly Time and Attendance Report. K. Employees shall maintain their CWS when engaged in activity outside their regular duty station for less than three (3) days.
