Calculation of Overtime If the overtime work has been carried out before as well as after the regular working hours during a certain day, the overtime periods shall be added together. Only full half hours are included in the calculation.
Computation of Overtime In computing overtime a period of thirty (30) minutes or less shall be counted as one-half (½) hour and a period of more than thirty (30) minutes but less than sixty (60) minutes shall be counted as one (1) hour.
Payment of Overtime For the purposes of calculating overtime payments, each day or shift will stand-alone.
Definition of Overtime Overtime means those hours worked in excess of normal hours of work as per Article 8.1 (Normal Work Week).
Distribution of Overtime Overtime shall be distributed as equally as feasible among qualified employees customarily performing the kind of work required, and currently assigned to the work unit in which the overtime is to be worked. When the assignment of overtime work causes an unusual burden upon the employee, the employee shall not be required to work overtime unless the absence would cause the Agency to be unable to meet its responsibilities.
Overtime Payments Full-time and Part-time Employees
Overtime Payment Full-time employees shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's straight time hourly rate for all time worked outside of their normal work hours and/or work days up to sixteen (16) hours in a twenty-four (24) hour period. For hours worked in excess of sixteen (16) in a twenty-four (24) hour period, employees shall be paid double time. Employees who receive an unpaid lunch period and are not required to work at their work assignments during such period shall not have such time treated as hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime.
Overtime Pay Overtime pay shall be paid to the employee on the next paycheque after the expiration of the pay period in which the overtime was earned except as provided in Article 16.6 (Compensating Time Off) below.
Equalization of Overtime 1. Overtime work shall be on a voluntary basis (except as provided for in Section 1(i)), and shall be distributed as equally as possible to qualified employees working within the same department.
2. Overtime lists for the Department of Public Works and the Department of Technical and Planning Services shall be maintained, showing the number of overtime hours each employee has worked or been charged with, and will be posted at the end of each pay period by the City on Union bulletin boards, unless mutually agreed otherwise.
3. Division Overtime lists will be broken down into the following categories:
a. Division Employees
b. Non-Division Departmental Employees
c. Departmental Probationary New Hires
d. Non-Departmental Employees These categories will be utilized for call-in purposes when overtime exists, resulting in a fair and equitable distribution of overtime for both Departmental and Non Departmental employees.
4. The qualified employee with the least amount of overtime on each Division list will be given the first opportunity to the available overtime and so on up the list in an attempt to equalize the overtime hours. Those jobs, by their nature, requiring a continuity of personnel, or an uninterrupted flow of work from straight time to overtime shall be exempt from this provision.
5. Any employee refusing to work overtime will be charged with such refused overtime hours on the appropriate Division overtime list, regardless of the cause of refusal in concurrence with Article 21 K (2), which states details about charging overtime with a 10 minute call back period per the Tentative Agreement.
6. If the number of employees needed for overtime cannot be filled from the fully qualified and trained personnel within the specific Division, the City may offer overtime to other employees.
7. All overtime hours will be recorded on a continuing basis by each Department and will be reverted to zero (0) at the beginning of each fiscal year. Probationary new hires, employees transferring into a Division or Department, and Non Departmental Employees, will be charged with the highest number of overtime hours accrued by employees in the same Division or Department.
Overtime Computation Computation of overtime will be rounded upward to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of an hour.
