Banking Overtime. (a) Regular employees who work overtime may transfer to an overtime leave bank up to 100% of the overtime hours earned to be taken as time off in lieu of wages providing that the total number of hours transferred to the overtime leave bank in any calendar year shall not exceed 37.5 hours. Overtime leave will be subject to essential departmental requirements and it will not be unreasonably denied. It must be taken prior to any leave of absence without pay unless otherwise agreed by the parties. It will not take precedence over another employee's vacation leave. It will be taken in the calendar year in which it is banked except that up to 15 hours of overtime banked after October 1st in any calendar year can be taken in the first quarter of the following calendar year if it is not possible to take it in the calendar year in which it is banked. Overtime which remains in the overtime leave bank at the last date when it can be taken will be paid out at the prevailing hourly rate within 30 days thereafter or within such longer period as the parties may agree, with agreement not to be unreasonably denied.
(b) Overtime leave shall be the equivalent in hours to the overtime payment entitlement, e.g. one (1) hour of overtime worked prior to or following a regular shift or work-day at time and one-half rate equals one and one-half hours paid leave.
Banking Overtime. All employees who are required to work overtime shall elect at the time of working such overtime whether to be paid for it or instead to receive compen- sating time off in lieu. An employee who elects to receive compensating time off, shall be credited with compensating time off equivalent to the number of hours which would have been paid for the overtime worked, and, subject to an employee's request to be granted compensating time off being approved by the employee's Department Head (or delegate), such employee shall be granted any portion of the compensating time off at the rate or rates in effect at the time the overtime in question was worked. All compensating time off credited during a particular calendar year but which has not been granted to an employee by March 31st of the immediately following year shall be paid in cash at that time at the pay rate or rates in effect at the time the overtime in question was worked.
Banking Overtime. During negotiations the parties discussed allowing represented salaried employees an informal arrangement to bank overtime hours worked in lieu of receiving pay. The intent of this arrangement was to allow an employee to bank the premium overtime hours at the appropriate rate and receive comparable hours off with the approval of Management. As a result, a local Banking Overtime arrangement was developed and implemented in many areas through the Office, Clerical and Engineering unit. During these present negotiations, it was agreed to confirm or clarify certain understandings with regard to the Banking Overtime arrangement as follows:
1) The maximum hours per employee to be banked at any given time is forty (40).
2) The opportunity to bank overtime hours will be afforded only to seniority employees.
3) In the event an employee has only a four (4) hour vacation entitlement remaining, such employee will be allowed to add four (4) hours of banked time to the vacation time to allow for a full shift off the job.
4) Banked hours may be carried over from one calendar year to another.
5) Unused vacation time shall not be just cause for an employee to be denied the use of banked hours. Where implemented, the Company reserves the right to modify, limit the banking of overtime hours worked and not paid, the period of time in which hours off may be taken. The Company or the Union may terminate this arrangement upon thirty (30) days written notice to either party. (c08)
