Adequate Rest Sample Clauses
The Adequate Rest clause ensures that individuals covered by the agreement are provided with sufficient rest periods during their work or service. Typically, this clause sets minimum requirements for breaks, daily rest, or days off, and may specify the duration and frequency of such rest periods. By establishing clear standards for rest, the clause helps prevent overwork, promotes health and safety, and ensures compliance with labor regulations.
Adequate Rest. Paragraph d. preceding, and Article VII, Work Schedules, both provide that the employee shall be entitled to work provided that the physical con- dition and conduct of the employee permit such em- ployee to satisfactorily perform the work, and a suffi- cient period of time for adequate rest has elapsed since the employee last worked. It is not possible to specifically evaluate “a sufficient pe- riod of time for adequate rest,” as this is dependent upon the nature of the work being performed, the conditions under which the work is performed, and the employee’s physical condition. In general, under ordinary circum- stances, sixteen (16) hours of work may be performed without an intervening period of rest. Normally eight (8) hours should be allowed for adequate rest between such a work period and the next work period. The following examples illustrate how this clause might reasonably be applied for a normal person under ordi- nary circumstances: Example 1 An employee works his or her regular tour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He or she is needed to carry out emergency work and continues to work, with only meal time inter- vening, until 12 midnight, at which time the employee is released. A sufficient time for adequate rest would be from 12 midnight until 8 a.m. the next morning. In the same instance, if the employee had continued to work beyond midnight until 3 a.m., then that employee would not be expected to work his or her normal tour from 8
a. m. to 5 p.m., but would be permitted to come on duty at 11 a.m. and work the remainder of the tour (with ad- equate time out for meal) until 5 p.m.
Adequate Rest. Employees working 14 or more hours during the 24 hour period immediately preceding the start of their next scheduled tour of duty will be entitled to an eight hour rest period before reporting to their next scheduled tour of duty. An employee who chooses not to report to work until his/her eight hour rest period has expired, shall be paid no more than two (2) hours base rate for those rest period hours which extend into the employees’ next scheduled tour. All rest hours paid or non-paid which are a part of the next scheduled tour shall count towards the daily and/or weekly overtime build. Should an employee be required to report back to work, and before eight (8) hours rest period has elapsed, the employee shall be paid one and one-half (1 ½) times the regular rate of pay for all hours worked until eight hours from the time the rest period began, but no less than a minimum of two (2) hours.
Adequate Rest. Employees shall be scheduled to have no less than eleven (11) hours off between shifts, unless by mutual agreement. Employees shall be scheduled for no more than five (5) days in a row, unless by mutual agreement.
