E.  Shift Rotations

Shift rotations, where necessary, will be worked out at the local level taking into consideration the preferences of employees and the operational needs of the office.

All bargaining unit employees will be expected to use time recording equipment or sign in and sign out each day using the SSA Serial Time and Attendance Roster (Form SSA-30).  Employees will use the applicable system in order of their arrival and departure.

G.  Start Times

If an employee arrives at the office prior to their scheduled start time, his/her sign-in time will be the time his/her normal flextime is scheduled to start.

To the extent feasible, management will continue existing lunch and break arrangements.
