This directive applies to all personnel assigned to Carson Station and becomes effective immediately.

Directive:

In order to ensure fairness and consistency regarding shift transfers and RDO preferences, the following procedures shall be adhered to:

  • SHIFT TRANSFERS - Shift transfers shall be determined by unit seniority and preferred shift availability, followed by time in grade and Department seniority.
  • RDO PREFERENCE- RDO preference shall be determined by shift seniority followed by unit seniority, time in grade, and Department seniority.
  • SHIFT ASSIGNMENT FOLLOWING DUTY ON SPECIAL TEAM OR OTHER SPECIAL DUTY- Upon completion of duty on a special team or other special assignment, the needs of the station will determine what shift the concerned personnel are assigned to.
