Guidelines for Friday Afternoon Off

Posted on December 10, 2018 by cope491

In our Collective Agreement, Article 12.01 provides for every second Friday afternoon off in multi-clerical offices. The Article reads:

“… In locations where there is more than one (1) employee, the Employer will allow a schedule to be established which will allow for every second Friday afternoon off…”

In order to facilitate this, the Employer has established guidelines to be followed. These were recently updated to reflect current job titles; but nothing else was changed from the original guidelines created in the 1980’s. To make sure everyone is aware of what the guidelines say and how the schedule is to be applied, COPE491 is circulating this guideline document to all members. Click the button below to see the guidelines. These are also be available on this website under Resources.
