Collective Bargaining: Implementing a Four-Day Workweek

 

Before you implement a four-day workweek, make sure you understand the legal and practical implications.

Union employers face additional and more substantial obstacles.  The starting point is the collective bargaining agreement between company and union.  Generally speaking, CBA’s have so-called management rights clauses which, in general terms, reserve for the company the right to take any action which is not otherwise covered by the CBA.  So if a CBA is truly silent about scheduling, the company can perhaps unilaterally impose a four-day week on its union workforce, depending on the specific language of the CBA. However, it would be unusual for a CBA to not have explicit or implicit provisions governing scheduling. This white paper reviews whether the company can unilaterally change the terms and conditions of employment, or whether it must negotiate the change.
