Common use of Mutual Shift Exchange Clause in Contracts

Mutual Shift Exchange. As agreed to during negotiations for this Collective Agreement, the Company agrees to retain the shift exchange privilege presently offered to employees. The purpose of this privilege is to reduce absenteeism by allowing employees to handle unexpected situations or ones that conflict with their work schedule. An employee may ask another employee to work his shift, on condition that he has received his supervisor's authorization to do so. Except under exceptional circumstances, a request for a shift exchange shall be submitted in writing to the supervisor, who shall approve it at least forty-eight (48) hours before the shift in question. This approval must bear the signature of the supervisor and both employees involved. These exchanges are only authorized if the employee taking over another employee's shift can perform the duties of the employee he is replacing. The Company reserves the right to temporarily or permanently withdraw this privilege from an employee who does not respect the established procedures or who abuses this privilege.
