5. Summer Fridays
Summer Fridays off result from a combination of a parity agreement (with Université de Montréal) and a 2.8% reduction in work hours in lieu of a salary increase. The summer Fridays normally occur between La Fête Nationale (June 24) and Labour Day. The schedule of summer Fridays is announced to the University community in the preceding spring.
When a staff member takes vacation during the summer schedule, any Friday that falls into the vacation period will not count as a “vacation" day.
When it is necessary for a staff member to work on a summer Friday morning, compensating time off or overtime pay on a straight time basis should be arranged. When it is necessary to work on a summer Friday afternoon, compensating time off on a straight time basis, or overtime pay on a time-and-one half basis should be granted. Compensating time off shall be taken as agreed to with the immediate supervisor and if requested by the employee, and possible, the three (3) day weekend will be respected.
5.1 Staff hired into a regular “M” position before December 1, 2006, will receive a credit for half (½) a day for any Summer Friday morning missed while on Short Term Disability (STD) leave or on Maternity Leave. The “credit” will be remitted as compensating time off to the employee when they come back to work and shall be taken as agreed to with the immediate supervisor. Requests for this compensating time off that was not paid shall have a retroactive application back to June 26, 2015.
Requests with respect to the period between June 26, 2015 and August 19, 2016 must be sent to Human Resources, Labour and Employee Relations Unit, prior to August 1, 2017, 5:00 PM.
