Common use of Bus Driver Assignments Clause in Contracts

Bus Driver Assignments. A. Bus driver work hours will be determined by the length of time necessary to complete assigned routes. The Transportation Supervisor shall be responsible for creating and assigning all routes. The most senior driver will be given the route with the most hours. The remaining routes will be assigned to employees based on their seniority (i.e., the longer – in terms of hours – routes will be assigned to the drivers with greater seniority). The Transportation Supervisor shall determine length of time necessary to complete said routes and report this to the Board Treasurer’s office by the completion of the third full week of school. The length of time shall include time allotted for gassing, cleaning, and pre-trip inspection as determined by the Transportation Supervisor. These hours will remain in effect for the remainder of the contract year unless, as determined by the Transportation Supervisor, the time required has substantially changed as a result of the addition or removal of students. If this occurs, the Transportation Supervisor may assess the route and report the new length of time to the Board Treasurer’s office. Hours paid prior to the original establishment of time will be adjusted according to the set route length. The Transportation Supervisor will reassign the routes as identified above if a route is changed by fifteen (15) or more minutes.
