1 - PREAMBLE
Meetings of official departmental committees are normally held during the working day between Monday and Friday. Most employees are therefore able to attend the meetings as part of their normal duties. Shift workers such as the stationary engineers or evening custodians are required to attend these meetings at times outside of their scheduled work week. This policy will specify how compensation will be provided to these shift workers who attend meetings.
