Temporary Schedule Change: This gives employees up to 2 temporary schedule changes per calendar year for “personal events.” A “temporary change” can include short-term unpaid leave, paid time off, working remotely, or swapping or shifting work hours. Each year, dealers must grant an employees’ schedule change request on at least 2 separate single day occasions, or on one occasion for up to 2 business days. Employees do not need to provide supporting documentation, nor are they subject to notice requirements.
