to work shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay therefore at the applicable rate.
Employees who are "on call" or subject to the provisions of a written procedure established by
management requiring periodic work outside their regularly scheduled hours shall be paid
any additional pay provided for in such procedures. Inspectors in the Community Development
Division shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay at the applicable rate for scheduled work
on Saturday or Sunday or between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 5 a.m.
For any employee in the Public Works Division, time and one half the employee’s regular hourly
pay shall be paid for work assigned and performed in excess of eight (8) hours in a work day, or
in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week. Paid Earned Time, paid holidays, military active
duty for training, jury duty, bereavement leave, or other excusable reasons of similar urgency,
shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of computing overtime pay.
When Park Department foremen go on permanent night shift assignment, all overtime for these
employees in the Park Department will be based on the premium rate of pay (base pay plus shift
differential) for all overtime work performed.
Overtime shall be allocated within a department on a rotating basis within the classification that
normally performs the work, starting with the most senior qualified employee. The next round
of overtime shall begin with the next senior employee within the classification that normally
performs the work, not previously contacted for overtime. Once the list is at the bottom (least
senior employee within the classification that normally performs the work) the list will start
again with the most senior. All qualified bargaining unit members in the division shall be
offered overtime before members of other units.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, overtime in emergency situations shall be assigned as determined
by management in order to best address the emergency. In this event, employees required to
work overtime for the emergency will be skipped over the next time they would be
eligible for non- emergency overtime.
For the purposes of this section, seniority shall be calculated on the same basis as Job
Posting/Lay- offs and Recall.
The City and the Union will jointly maintain an updated overtime rotation list. The Union will
provide the City with any changes in contact information. These changes will be made to the list
as soon as they are received from the Union. Any errors in allocating overtime will be corrected
immediately by placing the missed individual at the top of the overtime list and giving him or her
the next overtime opportunity. This subsequent opportunity will be offered for the same number
of hours as the missed opportunity. The employee’s original position on the overtime list will
not change with this action. Corrections of errors in allocating overtime shall be handled in this
manner not more than once per individual employee per fiscal year.
Employees who agree to be “on call” shall be compensated one (1) hour of overtime rate (time and
a half) per day. The employee will be issued a pager or cell phone and respond to it if paged_or
called.
