Payment for Working Overtime on a Holiday Where an employee is required to work authorized overtime in excess of his regularly scheduled hours on a paid holiday, such employee shall receive twice (2x) his regular straight time hourly rate for such authorized overtime.
Assignment of Overtime 3.4.1 Overtime shall be assigned on a rotating seniority basis among all qualified employees who are in the same classification, the same organizational unit, and at the same work location. An employee may decline an overtime assignment without adverse consequence unless it is assigned pursuant to Section 3.4.2 below. The department may define the group of qualified employees by their shift for purposes of assigning overtime so that call back pay is not obligated. In order to determine if an employee is qualified, the department should consider the employee’s work record in the department, including being in an unsatisfactory status on a current evaluation or having a formal discipline action in process.
3.4.2 If no employee in the classification, organization unit and work location accepts the overtime assignment, using the rotating seniority process, the District may assign the overtime in reverse rotating seniority order.
3.4.3 The following are allowable exceptions to the seniority overtime assignment process: When overtime is authorized for completion of a specific assignment, project, or work in progress, the employee who began the assignment, project, or work may be assigned the overtime; When the District determines it is necessary to consider special skills and training of employees to perform particular work; When employees are available to perform the work on a non-over-time basis, the District shall not be required to assign the work on an overtime basis. Overtime pay assignments will not be given to temporary employees unless the regular employees that would normally be assigned the overtime are not available or one of the seniority exceptions apply.
3.4.4 All overtime shall be offered to everyone on the applicable overtime list in descending order of seniority until the list is exhausted. Once the last name on the list is reached the process will resume from the top of the list. If an employee is offered overtime for a scheduled project and declines to accept, the employee forfeits his/her turn in the rotation. That employee will not be offered overtime until the list has been completed and his/her name comes up again in order of seniority.
3.4.5 Notice of scheduled overtime, for situations that are recurring or have advance notice, and which are offered on a rotational basis shall be posted in the same area as all required employment notices and announcements and will remain up until the work has been completed. Posting shall be on a form agreed to by the District and CSEA. Employee responses to the overtime posting shall be on a form agreed to by the District and CSEA. In lieu of posting, an organizational work unit may use electronic communications when all employees in such unit regularly use electronic communication. All such notices whether posted or sent by electronic communication will contain a description of the work to be done, the anticipated length of time to accomplish the work, the date(s) on which the work will be scheduled, and the date and time of posting. The notice shall be posted within a reasonable time of the District learning of the overtime work. Records will be maintained of all notices, employee responses, and overtime assignments for a period of three years.
Assignment of Overtime Work (a) Subject to the operational requirements, the Employer shall make every reasonable effort to avoid excessive overtime and to offer overtime work on an equitable basis among readily available qualified employees.
(b) Except in cases of emergency, call-back, or mutual agreement with the employee, the Employer shall, wherever possible, give at least four (4) hours’ notice of any requirement for overtime work.
