Re: Richmond Field Station Scheduling Side Letter
Dear Ms. Henriquez:
This letter reflects the understanding reached between the parties during our meeting on February 5, 2003, concerning the alternate or "flexible" work schedules for ACBCTC-represented crafts employees working at the University's College of Engineering's Richmond Field Station. ("RFS") The specifics of the alternate schedules are as follows:
The Richmond Field Station Maintenance/Operations department offers a flexible work schedule for its skilled craft employees. The intent of the program is to help reduce the number of annual commute days and to allow additional free time for the employee. The flexible schedule is a voluntary program offered to the employees. The employee is allowed the opportunity to switch back to the traditional 40-hour per week schedule with prior notification to his/her supervisor. The current program utilizes an eighty-hour, two-week format; the skilled craft employees are divided into two groups: A & B. Each group works a 44-hour schedule one week and a 36-hour schedule the following week. This allows one group a Friday off every other week. The schedule typically ends the week prior to the winter holiday break and restarts following the New Year holiday. The new schedules are produced each December and distributed to the employees. Schedules are alternated each year to allow each group the opportunity for extended Holiday weekends. The daily shift and rotating schedule is as follows:
Daily Schedule
Monday-Thursday:
All employees work a 9-hour shift of 7:00-4:30
Friday: Working group works from 7:00-3:30
If you agree with this alternate or flexible scheduling arrangement, please sign in the space provided below.
