Hours of work
September 1, 2009
The CUPEU collective agreement defines the usual working day as beginning at 9:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm. Twice in the past year, professional employees have run into problems because they have not come into work on time. Please be aware that professionals, like all other Concordia employees, are expected to be at work on time. Arriving even a few minutes late can, if repeated on a regularl basis, get you into serious trouble. Do you need a work schedule that is different from the default 9:00 to 5:00 schedule described in the collective agreement? If so, please consider negotiating an alternative schedule with your supervisor. Clause 24.03 of the collective agreement allows you to do this. And remember, once you and your supervisor agree on a new work schedule, confirm your understanding of the new schedule with an email or a memo so there is no possibility that you and your supervisor misunderstood what was being negotiated.
