Common use of Shift Change Penalty Clause in Contracts

Shift Change Penalty. Except for shift changes requested by the employee, if a shift change requires that an employee work more than five (5) consecutive days, the employee will be compensated at the rate of time and one-half (1-1/2) for all hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours within the employee's prior workweek. Except for shift changes requested by the employee or agreed upon by the supervisor and employee, if a shift or schedule change causes an employee to be required to work more than eight (8) hours in any twenty-four (24)-hour period, the employee shall be paid at the overtime rate for all hours in excess of eight (8) during that same twenty-four (24)-hour period. Employee workweek is defined as the seven (7)-day period beginning with the employee's first scheduled workday. Except for shift changes requested by the employee and approved by the Agency or for any form of Agency approved training, if a shift change requires an employee not to have two (2) consecutive days off for employees working (5/8’s), or three (3) consecutive days off for the employee working 4/10’s, the employee will be compensated four (4) hours straight pay. This penalty payment is paid only once going into the change, not for the return to original shift.
