Collective Agreement Corner—Scheduling

Roles and responsibilities to keep in mind for employees and employers

Your collective agreement contains a section on scheduling. Have a look at yours (available at myCLAC.ca) to see what specific provisions are in place at your workplace.

Below are a few general roles and responsibilities to keep in mind for employees and employers.

Employer Responsibilities

•  Post the schedule on time.

•  Notify employees of changes to the schedule (practices vary) within the required timelines.

•  Schedule according to the CBA language.

Employee Responsibilities

•  Submit requests for time off before a schedule is written/posted if possible.

•  Notify if can not attend a shift (sick, emergency situation [unless unable]).

•  Arrive on time.

If you have any questions about scheduling in your workplace, feel free to ask your steward or representative.
