Members must schedule their RWWL days twice a year. Any RWWL days not scheduled will be scheduled at BC Hydro’s discretion prior to the end of the current year. The first deadline is January 31, 2018 and depending on your hire date you will need to schedule either six or nine RWWL days.
Per article 11.01 (g) RWWL days are scheduled as follows:
For employees hired after July 1, 2005:
By January 31st of each year, employees must schedule at least 9 of the RWWL days they have not elected to exchange for cash pursuant to 11.01 (a) (2). These days must be scheduled to be taken by July 31st. An employee may request to re-schedule these days to be taken after July 31st with permission of their manager and subject to operational requirements.
By July 31st of each year, employees must schedule the remaining RWWL days to be taken by the end of the current year.
Any RWWL days not scheduled by July 31st will be scheduled at BC Hydro’s discretion prior to the end of the current year.
For employees hired prior to July 1, 2005:
By January 31st of each year, employees must schedule at least 6 of the RWWL days they have not elected to exchange for cash pursuant to 11.01(a)(2). These days must be scheduled to be taken by July 31st. An employee may request to re-schedule these days to be taken after July 31st with permission of their manager and subject to operational requirements.
By July 31st of each year, employees must schedule the remaining RWWL days to be taken by the end of the current year.
Any RWWL days not scheduled by July 31st will be scheduled at BC Hydro’s discretion prior to the end of the current year.
Employees can bank up to 5 RWWL days in accordance with 11.01(g)1. Employees are encouraged to take all of their RWWL days.
The scheduling of RWWL days does not mean that you can’t change your scheduled RWWL day. If you require a different RWWL day off you can request to exchange a scheduled RWWL day for a different day as long as the requested RWWL day does not conflict with essential department requirements.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your job steward.
