Common use of Field Hours Clause in Contracts

Field Hours. The Employer and the Union believe that in order for Community School Coordinators to work closely with school staff and the communities to facilitate and deliver a wide array of supports to pupils, their families and their school communities, Community School Coordinators’ hours of work shall, of necessity, be flexible. The educational and cultural needs of the pupils, families and the school communities will be best met if Community School Coordinators provide service on days and at times that have been previously agreed to by the Principal and the Community School Coordinator and are in accordance with the provisions of the collective agreement. A Community School Coordinator shall, in consultation with the principal of the school, plan each four-week block of time, taking into account the educational and cultural needs of the pupils, families and the school community and recognizing the personal needs and family/community obligations of the Community School Coordinator. With respect to the four-week time block that includes the days of work from Christmas Day to the first school day of the succeeding calendar year, the Employer and Union shall mutually agree to schedule an eight-week block of time of 271 and 1/3 hours to include the above. The provisions of Article 14.4 shall apply after 271 and 1/3 hours in the eight- week block. If a block of time is shorter than four weeks for any reason (for example at the start of the school year or the end of the school year or at the beginning or end of an employee’s appointment), the number of hours in the block shall be calculated by multiplying the number of working days by 7 1/3 hours. Any provision for the carryover of hours from one block to another, in excess of 14 2/3 hours, may occur only with the mutual agreement of the parties. This Letter of Understanding shall be in effect as of the first of the month following ratification and shall remain in effect up to and including August 31, 2016, and from year to year thereafter, subject to the negotiating process.
