Common use of Mutuals Clause in Contracts

Mutuals. Subject to the following guidelines, a shift employee may exchange scheduled work days with another employee: (a) these arrangements are not considered a change of schedule and time worked in excess of scheduled hours to a mutual change will not be paid at overtime rates; (b) mutual changes will only be considered when shift team strength and emergency response requirements are sufficient to minimize risk to the operation; (c) mutual change will not result in additional cost to the Company; (d) mutual changes must be documented (day off and reciprocal day specified) in advance and approved by the Leaders of both employees involved; The Company reserves the right to cancel the use of mutuals for any employee if it feels that operations have been disrupted or that this privilege is being overused. The Company also reserves the right to cancel or curtail the use of mutuals where such action is deemed necessary to permit employees to take a sufficient amount of rest time.
