Article 1
Scheduling
Article 5, Section 1 of the Master Agreement shall be supplemented and/or modified as follows:
1. Part-time Employees Short Notice Schedule Changes.
For part-time employees, the Administrator shall adhere to the posting requirements in Article
5, Section 1-C of the Master Agreement.
Except as modified for only the reasons below, the work schedule for part-time employees may
be:
1. Altered up to three (3) hours in advance of the regular posted starting time for such
employees, or
2. If on a day not scheduled employees may be offered additional hours.
To invoke this modified scheduling the Administrator shall notify the affected employees as
soon as the need for such schedule change becomes known. In all cases, any change in
scheduling shall be for additional work hours not previously regularly scheduled and must be
due to unanticipated, unknown or unforeseen reasons and offered to part-time employees prior
to intermittent employees.
Available work hours subject to this change in scheduling shall be distributed to the employee
with the most class seniority who is not scheduled for those hours. Any schedule changes
made which meet this criteria shall not be subject to penalty pay.
2. Existing Schedules.

operation of a unit/program, it becomes necessary to permanently change the scheduling
pattern of employees in the interest of efficient operations, to meet the needs of the public or
the Department, to provide more beneficial resident/client services, or to better use facilities or
the working forces, no less than twenty eight (28) calendar days notice shall be given to the
Local Union. At the request of the Local Union, the Administrator shall meet and confer to
develop a reasonable scheduling pattern prior to the fourteen (14) day posting period provided
for in Article 5, Section 1(C), of the Master Agreement.
The Administrator and the Local Union may mutually agree to alter the terms of this Section
