notify your supervisor in writing which scheduling pattern interests you.

You are capable and qualified, and
There is a capable and qualified person with less State Seniority in your scheduling unit
to fill your current scheduling pattern.
3. Management will have a transition period to place you in your selected scheduling pattern

unit/program. These reasons are:
Efficiency

a unit/program:
Give the Local Union at least thirty (30) calendar days notice.
Meet and confer with the Local Union to develop a reasonable scheduling pattern prior to
the fourteen (14) day posting period before the new schedule(s) must be posted.

place on the day the Master Agreement goes into effect will continue.
Management can permanently change your scheduling pattern and/or add new schedules in
your scheduling unit by posting the new and/or changed schedules for seven (7) days. You
may notify your supervisor in writing which schedule/scheduling pattern for positions in your
class or among a group of classes in your scheduling unit interests you. You will receive the
scheduling pattern you select in order of State Seniority, if you are capable and qualified for the
position.
