Common use of Master Schedule Change Clause in Contracts

Master Schedule Change. If the Employer mandates a master schedule change and/or the Employer finds it necessary to change an employee’s normal starting time on a regular ongoing basis, these changes shall not occur more than two (2) times per person in a twelve (12) month period or within six (6) months of a previous master schedule change. A four (4) week notice shall be given to the employee(s) and Union prior to implementation. A master schedule is defined as a schedule of positions with hours per pay and work schedule. A copy of the schedule will be provided to each employee. When master schedules need to be changed or revised, the preference of probationary, temporary, on call or per diem employees shall not be given equal or greater priority than those of seniority employees. (a) When master schedules need to be changed or revised, only employees in the affected positions will be given the option of any newly created positions. Employees shall be given the list of newly created positions and will be allowed to specify a preference for the newly created positions. Priority will be given to bargaining unit employees based on seniority, high to low, in their current shift and status, when determining which employees to assign to any newly created positions. Effective January 1, 2021, status shall be defined as full-time, benefit eligible part-time, and non-benefit eligible part-time. If the only position(s) available to the employee are either 1) not considered a reasonable offer under the definition of reasonable offer in the Layoff and Recall Section of this agreement, or 2) if there are fewer options available than eligible employees, then the employee(s) will be able to have the option to exercise his/her rights under the layoff section of this agreement. If the employee exercises his/her rights under the Layoff section of this agreement, the employees options shall include the ability to bump into the unreasonable offer vacancy from the master schedule change, bump into a vacant bargaining unit position they are qualified to perform under the definition of qualified in the Layoff section of this agreement, or take the layoff . (b) Changing an Employee’s normal start time on a regular ongoing basis. Employees in the same department and/or unit/cost center, on the affected shift will be offered the change on a voluntary basis, in seniority order, highest to lowest. In the absence of volunteers, changes in start time will be made in reverse order of seniority, lowest to highest. The Employer shall have the right to make exceptions to this procedure where specific skills and experience are required.

The Employer shall have the right to make exceptions to this procedure where specific skills and experience are required. Employer has a need to change an individual’s position’s schedule and/or start time and is not intended for changes affecting more than one (1) employee.

However, if the change eliminates the affected employee’s shift and/or would cause the employee to take a position that does not meet the reasonable offer definition in the Layoff and Recall section of this agreement, the employee shall have the option of exercising his/her rights under the Layoff and Recall Section of this agreement. If the employee exercises his/her rights under the Layoff section of this agreement, the employees options shall include the ability to bump into the unreasonable offer vacancy from the master schedule change, bump into a vacant bargaining unit position they are qualified to perform under the definition of qualified in the Layoff section of this agreement, or take the layoff .
