TIME-TRADING. SECTION 1. This article defines time trading between bargaining unit members. SECTION 2. Upon written request from the employees involved, and approval by the Employer, an employee may exchange an off day or shift assignment with another employee. No more than one (1) daily tour of duty or off day may be exchanged at any one time. The written request shall be submitted at least seven (7) days prior to the effective date of time trading. SECTION 3. Accordingly, the practice of trading time will have no effect on hours of work if the following criteria are met: 1) The trading of time is done voluntarily by the employees participating in the program and not at the behest of the Employer; 2) The reason for trading time is due not to the Employer’s business operations, but to the employee’s desire or need to attend to personal matters; 3) A record is maintained by the Employer of all time traded by his employees; 4) The exchanged off day or shift assignment occurs within two weeks of each other. SECTION 4. Any abuse of the time trading policy by any member of the bargaining unit will result in disciplinary action.
