written notice.
Schedule Posting: (For all employees)
Article 5, Section 1.C of the Master Agreement is supplemented as follows:
If the service where you work is temporarily not open or is underutilized, your supervisor will offer
the choice of any combination of the following:
Temporary reassignment if available,
Paid leave, or
Unpaid leave.
You and your supervisor must agree on the resulting assignment/leave.
Your schedule may temporarily change for these activities:

Employee-Initiated Schedule Changes (For the Anoka Region only)
Article 5, Section 1 (C) of the Master Agreement is changed as follows:
If you need to request leave and vacation or sick leave is not an option, your supervisor may
approve unpaid personal leave if you can exchange one (1) or more scheduled days of work with a
capable and qualified part-time employee in the same work area who is not scheduled to work that
day(s). Your vacation and sick leave will be adjusted according to the actual hours you work in
that pay period.
If you are a part-time employee asked to exchange shifts, you cannot work the additional hours if it
would result in overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). All the additional hours
you work will be paid at straight time. Your vacation and sick leave will be adjusted according to
the actual hours you work in that pay period.
Your supervisor must approve these requests and will not unreasonably deny them.
Scheduling for Union Meetings: (For St. Peter Region only)
Management will make a reasonable effort to schedule one Local Union Officer, Executive Board
Member, or steward from each work area for an early shift once a month on the day of the Local
Union meeting. The employee asking for the early shift must notify her/his supervisor at least
seven (7) days before that schedule is posted.
Meal Periods: (For all employees)
Article 5, Section 1.D of the Master Agreement shall be supplemented and/or modified as follows:
You may take your meal period off campus or in any designated area on campus. You and your
supervisor may agree that you can leave work one-half (1/2) hour before the end of your shift.
