The issue in this grievance is whether or not management's decision to allow a maximum of four hours of sick leave on the day in question was proper. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. We further agreed that this case should be settled at the regional level based on the following:
If a dispute arises as to the number of hours the part-time flexible would have been scheduled to work, the schedule will be considered to have been equal to the average hours worked by other part-time flexible employees in the same work location on the day in question. The parties will determine whether the grievant had a combination of work and paid leave on the day in question. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing, including arbitration if necessary.
