Do I have to provide a minimum number of available hours?
Yes, you must be available 2 days per week. An availability form acts as a contract between the employer and the employee. The employee may modify his or her availability once every 30-day period by sending a written notice 7 days before the end of the period.
Exception: Student employees are authorized to change their contracts as often as necessary if they advise the Replacement Centre far enough in advance. Students must provide formal documentation that they attend school (e.g.: schedule, transcript, receipt for school fees).
