We mutually agreed to resolve this grievance based upon our understanding as follows: There is nothing in the Labor Agreement which prohibits management from obtaining some form of documentation when an employee asks to be excused from working overtime or from working on a holiday. While the Form 3971 may normally be utilized to document leave requests, there is nothing which precludes a local manager from utilizing such form for purposes of maintaining a record of various other actions, including the documentation of why an employee was excused from performing work that he would otherwise be required to perform. This document contains two Article 8 related issues; a Step 4 Agreement on Page 1, and a separate Step 4 Agreement on Page 2.
Document Type: Step 4 Agreement
