§32.2 (a) With written notice to CSEA at the appropriate level, the State

shall be able to change the workday, workweek and shifts, established

pursuant to Section 32.1 of this Article, with the consent of the employees
affected, or in an emergency. Such changes and/or the establishment of

new shifts may also be made with advance written notice and consultation
with CSEA. This consultation shall occur at the appropriate level and shall

include the local CSEA president and/or the recognized CSEA designee
for the department or agency involved. Employees affected by the change,

except in emergencies, shall be provided with a minimum of 30 days’
written notice prior to the effective date of the change.

(b) In the event that the State provides notice of a change to the normal
workday or workweek of non-shift employees, individual employees shall

have the opportunity to express claim of hardship in writing to the
appropriate agency official. Such claim of hardship will be considered by

the agency official and shall be responded to in writing with a copy to
CSEA prior to the date of the planned change. An employee may be

exempted from the shift change at the discretion of the appropriate agency
official. However, such exemptions shall not violate the seniority rights

provided to another employee by any terms of this Agreement. The
decision of the appropriate agency official shall not be grievable.

§32.3 There shall be no rescheduling of days off or tours of duty to avoid
the payment of overtime compensation except in a specific case, upon one

week’s notice, and when necessary to provide for the continuation of State
services.

§32.4 The lunch period of State employees shall not be extended for the

purpose of increasing the working time of such employees.
§32.5 (a) Breaks in work hours of more than one hour shall not be
scheduled in the basic workday of any employee whose position is

allocated to SG-22 or below without the consent of the employee affected.

(b) Rest periods shall continue to be administered in accordance with
Civil Service Attendance Rule 20.1 as interpreted by the Civil Service
Attendance and Leave Manual Section 20.1 dated July 1992.

§32.6 A shift employee who is granted leave for jury duty shall have his

or her shift changed, to the extent practicable, to the normal day shift for
the duration of jury duty. Such shift change shall not occur more frequently

than once every two years.
