Start date for counting work hours

[prettychem]

I am a shift worker. My shift schedule changed in the middle of the year last year.

My first date of work was May 12th 2022. If I start counting from this date and only count 30 hours per week, then I have 1497 hours.

But if I ignore the first few days and start counting from May 15th 2022 instead, then I have 1528 hours.

The difference is because of my shift schedule changing and because I work 12 hour shifts.

Am I allowed to ignore the first few days and start counting from the 15th?

You better check your math because under no circumstance could working more days on May 12th have less hrs than May 15. For CEC, there is no cut of for when you start working. Which means you should count the hrs worked during the week of May 12th and the new scheduled hrs starting May 15th. This means your combined hrs worked for CEC is much higher than what you are saying it is. Plus, you have to report both work schedules because the start date on you contract is May 12th not 15th. So you should be reporting both even though its the same job. Simply add this explanation in the LOE and show pay slips to prove the hrs increased to 12 per week.

Just to add to what the above poster said, you seemed to think CEC is counting the total hours in any 365 day period. That is not the case. CEC eligibility is counting all the hours you have worked in the previous 3 years and if that's more than 1560 hrs you are eligible.
