Minimum Notice Requirement when Unable to Report for Duty
Effective
March 1, 2025, all employees must notify Operations at least
75 minutes before their scheduled report time, the start of their reserve shift or their Ground Assistance Shift if they are unable to report for duty. Failure to provide this minimum notice may result in disciplinary action.
The Union and the Company have worked together to create a process that balances operational requirements with employee flexibility. Providing timely notice when unable to report for a scheduled flight or reserve assignment helps ensure smooth operations and minimizes disruptions, benefiting both employees and customers.
To avoid the implementation of a mandatory punch-in/punch-out system, the Union and the Company have agreed to this 75-minute minimum notice requirement for all instances where an employee is unable to report to work, including illness.
Both parties want to emphasize that failure to adhere to this guideline may result in disciplinary action and could lead to the introduction of a mandatory punch-in/punch-out system for all shifts. We understand that extenuating circumstances may arise, and such cases will be reviewed individually.
Examples:
- Reserve Shift: If your reserve shift is scheduled from 0500 to 1700, you must notify Operations by 0345 if you are unable to report.
- Flight Assignment: If your first scheduled flight is JV105, departing YWG at 0700 (0600 Report time), you must notify Operations by 0445 if you are unable to report.
- Ground Assistance: If your Ground Assistance shift starts at 0600, you must notify Operations by 0445 if you are unable to report.
In the event you are running late and will not make your 60-minute before departure report time, please notify Operations.
We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring smooth operations. Please remember that 75 minutes is the minimum notice required, but if you know in advance (e.g., the night before) that you will be unable to report to work, we encourage you to contact Operations, open 24 hours (by phone and email
[email protected]), as early as possible.
This allows more time for crew rescheduling and helps ensure on-time departures.
If you have any questions, please reach out to a Flight Attendant Manager or your Unifor District Chair
