except as modified in paragraph I, below. If the overtime situation requires additional
employees, then such overtime shall be offered to any qualified employee in the department, then
to any qualified employee in the division, and then assigned to any qualified employee in the
order of reverse seniority within the department.
I. Placement for the overtime rotation will be by classification seniority. Once the
rotation is established, the senior employee will be offered the next overtime opportunity.
Subsequent overtime opportunities will be offered to employees in order of seniority. Whether
the overtime opportunity is accepted or rejected, the individual will be placed last in the rotation.
J. Any employee who accepts overtime but does not appear for said work without
adequate justification shall be subject to disciplinary action.
K. Except in emergency situations, an employee who is on vacation, sick leave,
military training or bereavement leave shall not be called for overtime work until the employee
returns to his/her regular shift. An employee using vacation and/or sick time during a rest period
under Appendix E shall maintain their eligibility for overtime.
L. No temporary or probationary employee shall be assigned overtime work until all
qualified regular employees shall have had the opportunity to accept the assignment.
M. Any employee, if physically able, shall be required to work in an emergency, if
needed.
N. Employees of the Solid Waste Department may be required to work as follows
during a week in which a holiday is observed. When a holiday is observed on a Friday,
collection equipment operators maybe required to work on the Friday as determined by the
Board of Public Works. When a holiday is observed on a Monday, collection equipment
operators may be required to work on the following Saturday. A volunteer substitute, who is
acceptable to the supervisor, may take the place of an individual collection equipment operator
on such work assignment provided that classification of the substitute does not exceed the pay
classification of the collection equipment operator.
CD: If at the beginning of the workday, the Superintendent or his/her designated
representative identifies a project for potential overtime, the work force will be notified of this
potential and adjustments will be made at that time so that the work force finally constituted will
be available for overtime, if required.
Notwithstanding the above, if an unforeseen and unanticipated situation occurs during the
course of a workday that requires work beyond the usual workday hours, the employees
currently working on such assignment may be assigned no more than one additional hours to
continue work on the project. The parties agree that this section is not intended to usurp the
overtime list. Instead, it is intended to be used to address unforeseen and unanticipated situations
that occur on a given work day at a given work site.
P; Master Overtime List
1. Each department shall have a list of employees by classification seniority and
a department master overtime list by division seniority within the department.
