Her Bid states: SSDA Non Traditional Full Time Flexible Relief. Annual Leave, Sick Leave, Day Off Relief for Santa Cruz City…she works in Scotts Valley within the three offices that make up the Santa Cruz Installation.

First of all, I never heard of such a NTFT Flexible Relief Clerk Bid, Is there such a bid? Can management just make one up? Secondly, I believe the clerks’ schedule must still abide by the Wednesday Schedule Posting rule, which it does not. And how can a 30 hour six day week NTFT Flexible Relief suddenly assume Full Time Hours for another Full Time Clerk on Annual Leave and Sick Leave?
My argument is that it is not a valid bid, no matter who the clerk relieves, if it is more than 5 hours a day it is either Out of Schedule or Overtime, Management is not posting the clerk schedule by the Wednesday prior to the work week. If I am right can you share with me some contractual cites?
Thank You.

There are such things as NTFT Flex positions. The position should be posted with a set schedule, but that can be changed week to week, following the Wednesday prior rule to make changes. That’s the “Flex” part. Allows mgmt to cover vacations, etc. JCIM 2012, Appendix B has a Q&A on NTFT positions.

Not an expert on NTFT (Pronounced NitFit), but I don’t believe there is such a thing as a NTFTF. I thought an NTFT position still had a set schedule. If they need THAT kind of flexibility, they either need more PTFs or more PSEs, but most likely Management is just being SUPER F’ING CHEAP again and not posting enough FTR Duty Assignments.
Now, if they happen to build the Duty Assignment to cover for FTR Assignments’ days off, if the office is big enough, I could understand that, but I don’t have a lot of faith that that is the issue, nor in Management’s ability to conceive of a legal version of it.
