(f) make and enforce and alter from time to time rules and regulations to be observed by the employees;

ARTICLE 9 - DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE

9.01 Subject to the provisions set out below, a claim by an employee, who has successfully completed his probationary period, that he has been discharged or disciplined without just cause may be the subject of a grievance and dealt with as provided for in Article 7 and Article 8.

9.02 An employee who is discharged shall be so notified in writing by the Company. If an employee who has completed his probationary period considers he has been discharged without just cause, he may submit a grievance in writing under Step 2 of the grievance procedure within five (5) business days following his discharge.

2. Fighting.

Where the Company decides, in light of the specific circumstances of the case, to impose a disciplinary penalty short of discharge for a grave offence as mentioned above, such penalty shall be deemed to be appropriate, if the offence is proved. The imposition of such lesser penalty in one case shall not operate as a limit to management's discretion to impose the penalty of discharge in another case. Where the dismissal of an employee for a serious offence is made the subject of a grievance which proceeds to arbitration, the Company shall be required to establish, on a balance of probabilities, that the employee committed the offence. Where the Company establishes that the employee committed the offence, then the Arbitrator or Arbitration Board, as the case may be, shall not inquire into the penalty imposed.

(b) If overtime becomes available, the Company will offer the overtime of more than (4) four hours to qualified employees who are not scheduled to work that day.

16.07 Work schedules shall not be changed without two (2) calendar days' notice to each employee affected by such change; however, this shall not apply in an emergency situation.

16.09 When an employee reports for work at the commencement of his regularly scheduled shift, he shall be entitled to a minimum of four (4) hours work or four (4) four hours' pay at his regular straight time hourly rate, unless the lack of work is due to reasons beyond the control of the Company or unless the Company has contacted the employee before the scheduled start of the employee's shift.

16.1 0 Where the Company determines that a vacancy exists, the Company shall post a notice of such availability. Employees in the classification will have five (5) days to inform their supervisor in writing that they wish to be considered for the available shift. At the end of the five (5) day period, the Company will review the applicants for the shift available from those who have signified interest on the basis of skills and ability. Seniority in the classification shall be the determining factor where two or more interested employees are qualified and have relatively equal skill and ability. If nobody who has applied has the necessary skill, ability and qualifications to satisfactorily perform the requirements of the job without training, the Company may select any employee in the bargaining unit for training or may appoint an employee from outside the bargaining unit or may hire a new employee. It is understood that this process shall only be applicable for the initial shift availability so that any subsequent shifts becoming available through the application of this process may be filled from within the classification at the sole discretion of the Company.

16.11 It is agreed that employees under this agreement may be required to work regular hours up to forty-two and one half (42.5) hours per week or overtime hours as otherwise required and provided for under article 16.05, above.
