Common use of Work Commitment Clause in Contracts

Work Commitment. When work is available, casual employees are required to work two shifts per month. One of the required shifts must be: (a) a weekend shift or, (b), an evening, night or variable start time shift, if the casual employee works in a department that has such shifts. Casual employees are not obligated to report to duty each time they are requested to work. Casual employees who are students must be available to work two shifts per three-month period during months when school is in session. The three-month period will begin at the start of the employee’s school term. Casual employees must be available to work two holidays per year, one of which must be Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s. Casual employees assigned call shifts may fulfill these work requirements by either working two shifts per month or by working one shift and one full call shift. Full call shifts will be defined within each individual department. When a schedule is created, the scheduler/leader will notify casual employees of possible needs. At that time, the casual employee must notify the Hospital of the casual employee’s potential availability. Casual employees will be awarded shifts in accordance with the Extra Hours Section. If a casual employee is committed to a shift and is cancelled by the Employer, the shift will count towards the minimum shift requirements.
