Temporary Employees - Zone Wide Lists: In

 

The 2015 UAW-Ford National Agreement includes changes regarding the administration of Temporary
Employees. The changes include:

1) Allowing temporary employees to work three days a week instead of two days a week.
2) Implementing a wage progression schedule for temporary employees.
3) Establishing a protocol by which interested temporary employees will be considered for full time opportunities.

Since temporary employees do not establish a Ford Service Date, a key component in determining the
relative service time for temporary employees is the amount of weeks the temporary employee has
worked since their most recent hire or rehire as a temporary employee (i.e. “weeks worked”).
The following bullet points explain how “weeks worked” are calculated and administered in accordance with the 2015 UAW-Ford National Agreement:

• A temporary employee must have some time actually worked on a day in order for that day to
count as a “day worked” toward advancing the employee’s week counter.

• The week counter will advance by one once the temporary employee has worked at least three
days.

• If the temporary employee works more than three days in a week, the week counter will only be advanced by one. The only exception to this rule is if a temporary employee does not work three days in a week. If that occurs, the days worked are carried over and added to the days worked in the next week until a total of three days worked is reached and the “weeks worked” counter is advanced by one. In that situation it is possible for a temporary employee to work a sufficient number of days to advance the weeks worked counter by one and work three more days in the same week and again advance the weeks worked counter. Temporary employees on the active or inactive rolls at a location will continue to be considered for full-time job openings in a fair and equitable manner giving due consideration to the length of employment with the Company. The “weeks worked” calculation is the metric typically used to determine the relative length of service with the Company between temporary employees.
The determination regarding whether or not the weeks worked by a temporary employee prior to being
laid off are included in future weeks worked calculations if recalled from layoff, is dependent upon the
length of time on layoff compared to the length of time worked since last hire or rehire (“time for time”).

• If the amount of weeks on layoff is equal to or less than the amount of weeks worked prior to
layoff, the employee is reinstated (code 15) to the active roll and upon reinstatement the
weeks worked counter continues to advance from the amount of weeks worked when laid off.

• If the amount of weeks on layoff is greater than the amount of weeks worked prior to layoff, the employee is rehired (code 11) to the active roll and the weeks worked counter is reset to zero. The “time for time” concept shall also apply in determining the order in which employees shall be considered for future employment opportunities. Employees whose time on layoff has not exceeded
“time for time” will be considered for employment opportunities prior to employees whose time on layoff has exceeded “time for time”.

It is recognized there may be instances involving potentially complex situations with unique circumstances where something other than the strict “weeks worked” calculation is used to determine the relative length of service with the Company between temporary employees.

In order to ensure the “weeks worked” calculation has been properly applied, all locations are reminded the Job Security and Arbitration Departments must be contacted prior to adding any temporary employees to the active roll or removing temporary employees from the active roll.
