Common use of Exchange of Shifts/Days Off Clause in Contracts

Exchange of Shifts/Days Off. Employees may request, in writing, to temporarily exchange days off or shift assignments. Temporary exchanges of workdays or shift assignments require the approval of the immediate supervisor(s). The date requested for shift trade shall be mutually agreed upon by the employees involved. All requests for shift trade must be made in writing two weeks prior to the date requested; however, this requirement may be waived by the Chief of Police/Designee. Shift trade may not create overtime for either employee, unless approved by the Chief of Police/Designee. If conditions arise during the assignment period which necessitates a change in shift assignment in order to provide effective delivery of services to the College, the College may temporarily change the employee’s shift and/or days off assignment provided the employee is given advance notice of forty-eight (48) hours. Exceptions to the forty-eight (48)-hour notice requirement are overtime opportunities, mutual agreement to waive the provisions, or an emergency, including emergencies, being declared by the President of the College or Chief of Police/Designee.
