Common use of Schedule Posting and Schedule Changes Clause in Contracts

Schedule Posting and Schedule Changes. Regular one (1) month work schedules, including the holiday schedule if applicable, shall be posted fourteen (14) calendar days in advance. The parties, however, recognize that patient needs and clinic/location coverage needs may necessitate other types of work schedules and occasional changes in posted work schedules. In the event that posted work schedules are to be changed by the Supervisor, affected Employees shall receive fourteen (14) calendar days written notice, except where patient care emergencies make such notice impossible. Where schedule change(s) are necessary, the least senior qualified Employee(s) shall be changed. Notwithstanding Section 5 and the above, the care unit/work unit has the ability to reassign work or restructure work within that care unit/work unit to implement a schedule change(s). The Employer, the Union, and Employees recognize that, in order to provide the services desirable to patients/members, their cooperation is needed to have schedules meet these service needs. Such reassignments or restructuring may include changing days off, changing start and end times, and changing job responsibilities. However, such reassignment or restructuring shall not change an Employee’s FTE. Any reassignment or restructuring that would modify the Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be agreed to by the Union and Human Resources prior to it becoming effective. Such approval shall not be unreasonably denied by either party.
