UFCW 1116 Breaking News

ATTENTION

ALL ARGA PART-TIME EMPLOYEES

The current Labor Contract requires that you work an average 18 hour per week in each month to continue to be eligible for Health Coverage.

15.3 Except as otherwise required by law, in the event a Part-time Employee’s compensated time (e.g. hours actually worked, vacation hours, holiday hours, etc) in any one month does not equal or exceed an average of 18 hours of work per week per Health Fund contribution period (12 periods per year), the Employer is not required to make any Health and Welfare contribution on the Employees behalf for the ensuing month. There are 4 months that have 5 pay periods and 8 that have 4 pay periods

The current Labor Contract also states that the minimum schedule is 18 hours Monday through Saturday. 

Sunday hours are outside the regular work week and do not count toward the minimum hours

4.5         No Employee shall be scheduled for less than eighteen (18) hours per week. This minimum does not apply if the Employee has restricted his/her availability to less than eighteen (18) hours per week.

 

4A.1      Sunday operations shall be part of the regular workweek but shall be conducted according to the terms and conditions contained in this Article. Sunday hours will not be included in computing the weekly minimum scheduled hours.

Keep track of the number of hours you work so that you maintain the 18 hour per week average per month to continue to be eligible for Health Coverage.
