OK C Area - here we go!
The B area is done with their guides and schedule, so we can start briefing the workforce. Amy will send out an update in regards to this, but here is what I’m hoping to do with the C Area for now…..
Our plan is to select lines “on paper”. I will contact you when it is your turn to select your line, and will include a copy of the lines and what is available. The hope with selecting lines this way is that when bidding opens after all the briefings, we can start bidding AL and the scheduler can get all the lines entered into web scheduler so there is little to no delay in publishing pay period 3.
The current selections will be updated in the area, as well, so you will have continued access to where we are in the selection process.
There are some options for you to choose. If you are the first person to bid the mid for the set of days off (Monday - Friday day shifts only), you may choose between a 0530NF or an 0600 for your shift before the mid. There is an option for a 0600 or 0700 on the non-mid lines on Sun/Mon. First in seniority selecting those lines can choose what shift they would rather have. Wed/Thurs can select between 1400 or 1500 on their second day. If no selections are made, they will rotate through them.
Thurs/Fri lines - if no one elects to work a 1600NF every week, it will be rotated through everyone on those days off (including line 36).
Each day needs two 1530 shifts, they have been pre-assigned. If no one volunteers for the 1530 shifts, they will remain on those lines. Any 1430 can volunteer for the 1530 until 2 have been chosen.
When you select your line, also note if you would like to be a mid-back up, or not, and whether you would like to be on the “yes” or “no” list for overtime. A “yes” selection for the mid back up will be assigned in order of seniority if the shift is above guides, or for long term coverage. The “no” selections will rotate through if a “yes” is unavailable.
This is the schedule for you to review before I contact you. If we run into anyone who doesn’t want to do this, or there are any issues, then we will stop and wait until bidding begins in BidATC.
Please reach out with any questions. I ask kindly to be respectful of this process and use this time wisely so when I reach out to you, you’re ready.
Happy Selecting!!
