Common use of Sunday Hours Clause in Contracts

Sunday Hours. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties agree to the following provisions for staffing the Main Library and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on certain Sunday afternoons. The provisions relating to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be effective July 1, 2020 until ratification of a successor agreement. 1. Sunday staffing at the Main Library will be only for Sundays between the Sunday after Labor Day and the last Sunday in June, except that Easter, Christmas (if it falls on either Saturday or Sunday), and the Sunday prior to Memorial Day will be staffed on a purely voluntary basis, that is, only if enough employees volunteer to provide coverage deemed necessary by the library administration. Sunday staffing at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be only for Sundays between the first Sunday in July and the Sunday prior to Labor Day, except that if July 4th falls on a Sunday, the Library will be closed, and the Sunday prior to Labor Day will be staffed purely on a voluntary basis, that is, only if enough employees volunteer to provide coverage deemed necessary by the library administration. 2. Staff employed on or before April 15, 2014 shall not be required to work Sundays. 3. All full-time unit members, regardless of date of hire, shall continue to have the option of cash payment at 1½ or compensatory time at double time for Sunday work. 4. The current system of staffing Sunday hours at the Main Library on a voluntary basis shall be maintained and will also apply to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Accordingly, employees hired after April 15, 2014 shall not be scheduled to work Sundays as part of their regular workweek. Under the current system, which shall be continued, volunteers for Sunday work shall be solicited periodically among all staff without regard to date of hire in a bargaining unit position. 5. In the event that an insufficient number of employees volunteer to staff the library on any Sunday covered by this provision, then employees hired into the unit after the ratification of this Agreement may be required to do so, under the following limitations: a. Employees working in positions whose regular workweek is less than thirty (30) hours shall first be required to work Sunday, provided they have the necessary skills and qualifications for the staffing needs on any particular Sunday. If necessary, such employees working in positions whose regular workweek is thirty (30) hours or more may then be required to work in order to complete the complement necessary to staff the library. b. Requests to be relieved of the requirement to work a Sunday shall be administered in the same manner as requests for time off by other members of the bargaining unit on other days of the week. c. Full-time employees who are required to work on Sundays shall have the option of including Sunday as one of their five regular work days in the Sunday-Saturday period, in which event the Sunday work shall be compensated only by a half-time premium. d. The necessary skills and qualifications for the staffing needs on any particular Sunday will be determined by Library management and will be communicated to employees in advance. Employees may only be required to work on any particular Sunday if there are an insufficient number of volunteers with the necessary skills and qualifications. e. Any employee required to work on a Sunday pursuant to this Agreement will be given at least two weeks’ notice. However, if an employee previously scheduled to work seeks to be relieved of his/her Sunday commitment and that request is granted, the Library may require another employee to work on the Sunday in question in order to meet the newly created staffing need. Prior to requiring employees to work the employer will solicit volunteers. If required in this instance, management will attempt to provide as much notice as possible. f. The Sunday hours referred to in this Agreement are from 12:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.
