Weekend Worker A weekend schedule may be developed in order to meet the Home’s need for weekend staff, and individual employees’ preference for a weekend work schedule. A weekend schedule is defined as a schedule in which a full-time weekend worker works a weekly average of thirty (30) hours and is paid for 37.5 hours at their regular straight time hourly rate. The schedule must include two 11.25-hour tours, which fall within a weekend period as determined by the Home and the Union. An employee working a weekend schedule will work every weekend except as provided for in the provisions below. The Employer and the Union may agree to implement weekend worker position(s) if sixty-six and two thirds’ percent (66⅔%) of the full-time and part-time employees who work in the facility/unit are in agreement. The introduction of that schedule and the manner in which the position(s) are filled, shall be determined by the local parties. This schedule may be discontinued by either party with notice as determined by the local parties. The opportunity for an individual employee to discontinue this schedule shall be resolved by the local parties. Notwithstanding the voting mechanism above, a three (3) month trial period (or longer period, where agreed by the Home and the Union) for a weekend worker arrangement may be implemented without a vote in circumstances where the following additional conditions apply: ▪ An RN (or RNs) volunteers or applies for a weekend worker position and the Home and the Union agrees to accept the request. ▪ The work schedule will be modified to accommodate such a request provided there is no reduction in the regularly scheduled hours of the other RNs in the bargaining unit. ▪ Prior to the conclusion of the trial period, representatives of the Home and of the Union will evaluate and discuss the outcomes. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis. (a) Weekend and shift premiums shall not be paid.
CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS As per the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (40 U.S.C. 3701-3708), where applicable, all Customer Purchase Orders in excess of ,000 that involve the employment of mechanics or laborers must include a provision for compliance with 40 U.S.C. 3702 and 3704, as supplemented by Department of Labor regulations (29 CFR Part 5). Under 40 U.S.C. 3702 of the Act, each contractor must be required to compute the wages of every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in the work week. The requirements of 40 U.S.C. 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence.
Holidays Worked When an employee works on a calendar holiday, he/she shall receive payment of the holiday at the regular rate and in addition, at the discretion of the Employer, (1) be paid at the rate of time and one half for hours actually worked on the holiday or (2) be given compensatory time off equal to one and one half the number of hours actually worked.
Overtime Scheduling Provisions of this language is supplemented by the National Agreement as long as the National Agreement is in effect. See Exhibit, 1.H.3 “Mandatory Overtime Documents.” 907 Scheduled overtime shall be offered by classification seniority within the licensed pharmacy. Unscheduled overtime shall be offered by classification seniority to those employees present when the need for overtime arises. Unclaimed overtime whether scheduled or unscheduled, before being assigned to the least senior employee(s) within a classification who shall be required to work the overtime, will first be offered by bargaining unit seniority to any member of the bargaining unit within the licensed pharmacy who can perform the work. 908 Job Posting 909 Notices of all job openings within the bargaining unit shall be posted by the Employer by the usual and customary job posting process. The job posting notice may include special qualifications for the classification, and will be posted concurrently internally and externally for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days with the exact beginning and ending posting date. 910 Bidding on Posted Openings 911 After completion of an initial probationary period of at least ninety (90) calendar days in a position, employees shall be allowed to electronically submit a request through the Employer’s usual and customary job bidding process for posted jobs for posted jobs in higher-rated or lateral classifications available within their Area Pharmacy Operation. Where two (2) or more employees have submitted requests for the same job, seniority, as defined in Paragraphs 902 and 912, shall prevail where qualifications to perform the work of the new job are relatively equal. Where the seniority of two (2) or more employees bidding for the job opening is the same, the date of the individual employee’s original employment application shall be used to determine the senior employee. If an issue of seniority remains, representatives of the parties will meet to resolve the matter. An employee may be denied an opening regardless of seniority, if said employee has a current Final Warning in file. 912 Seniority for bidding on any posted opening within the bargaining unit shall prevail first by classification seniority within the Area Pharmacy Operation where openings exist, then to employees by bargaining unit seniority within the Area Pharmacy Operations. Thereafter, employees by classification seniority at any licensed pharmacy within the Southern California Region and finally employees by bargaining unit seniority at any licensed pharmacy within the Southern California Region will be considered for any posted opening provided a request form is on file with the Area Personnel Office prior to the end of the posting period. Employees who successfully bid on a posted position shall not be unreasonably delayed in assuming the new position. 913 Employees who move to a posted opening shall have a trial period of not less than ninety (90) calendar days. During such ninety (90) day trial period, the employee shall be given thorough instruction and proper orientation in the new work and shall be given an evaluation by the Employer between the fortieth (40th) and fiftieth (50th) day from the date in the new position. After such trial period, if the employee is unable to perform the duties of the new position satisfactorily said employee will be restored to the position immediately held prior to the new position without discrimination. During the trial period, an employee may be restored to their former position where it is determined that clear and present danger exists by allowing said employee to remain in the new position. An employee who is voluntarily reassigned pursuant to Article IX shall have seven (7) calendar days to change their mind and upon written request, shall be returned to their former position. This right shall be available only once during the term of the agreement. If additional circumstances occur, the Union and the Company will meet and confer. 914 For bidding and reduction in force purposes only, the Antelope Valley pharmacy locations will be considered as an Area Pharmacy Operation. 915 Temporary Position 916 If a position opens on a temporary basis, it will be treated as any job opening for bidding purposes. When a temporary position ceases to exist, the employee holding the position will return to his or her former job and employees displaced as a consequence can similarly return to their former position. If a temporary position becomes permanent, it must be posted as a permanent job. Employees awarded a temporary position will not accumulate classification seniority and will not have area seniority while assigned to said position, but will retain and continue to accumulate classification seniority and will maintain area seniority on his or her permanent position. 917 Reduction in Force 918 Where inconsistent this language is supplemented by the National Employment Income Security Agreement as long as the National Agreement is in effect. 919 Reduction in force will be accomplished by classification and status within each licensed pharmacy.
