The question raised in this grievance involved the scheduling of part-time flexible employees to work nine hours in a twelve hour period which included a swing period in excess of two hours. During our discussion, we agreed to remand this case to Step 3 for application of the following language taken from the Step 4 settlement of grievances H8N-3P-C 25588 and H8N-3Q-C 26319: 1. When a part-time flexible employee is notified prior to clocking out that he should return within 2 hours, this will be considered as a split shift and no new guarantee applies. 2. When a part-time flexible employee, prior to clocking out, is told to return after 2 hours, that employee must be given another minimum guarantee of 2 hours work or pay. 3. All part-time flexible employees who complete their assignment, clock out and leave the premises regardless of interval between shifts, are guaranteed 4 hours of work or pay if called back to work. This guarantee is applicable to any size office.
